Stouffer's makes passable (read: GOOD) creamed chipped beef in white gravy
that can be nuked or boiled in the bag and served over toast or biscuits.
As a child I hated the very idea of it because Dad called it S*** on a
Shingle. Now I love SOS! Mom buys the Stouffer's stuff because it's easy
for them to prepare. Dad (USMC Ret. is 80 and Mom is 79).
