That's how my mom did it; I use toasted split English muffins for a bit
more substance.

Mom also used to do exactly the same thing, but with a can of tuna
substituted for the dried beef.

I ran across (and bought, and have been eating) a loaf of "English muffin
bread" the other day. I've never seen that before. It's fun. It's not
as holey.

Tuna gravy! I grew up on the stuff served over rice and fed it to my
kids when money was tight. Old days it was one 6 ounce can of tuna
(about a dime back then), one can of cream of mushroom soup (also a
dime), maybe some onions or other items that would go good. Served over
rice. We bought rice in 42 lb bags for about 3 bucks at a nearby rice
drier and kept the bag in the kitchen. If my father was out on strike we
lived on tuna gravy and rice and one of the 200 white Leghorn chickens
my mother raised from chicks. Got them in the mail from somewhere. What
a memory, I think I'll make tuna gravy and rice this week just for the
memory.

We used to have it on toast, sometimes with peas in it. Mom called it
creamed tuna on toast, what else? :-)

Dang George, you are bringing back some childhood memories. We had
creamed tuna on toast made just like your tuna gravy, but served on
toasted white bread. Sometimes canned peas were added.
Too bad I have neither in the house now.

A can of smoked oysters in oil is great too. I add a small chunk of
blue cheese and serve it over egg noodles. I had a bunch of leftover
crab legs from the weekend, so last night I used the crab meat to make
the same. We had garlic bread with it. Very good stuff.
