Winston Salem, North Carolina

My hubby always nagged me to make this. Growing up, my mom also used to refer to creamed chipped beef as SOS -- but it stood for something different (and not so nice). Thanks to her, I was dubious that "SOS" could taste good. But I finally caved and made this for dinner last week, and was so surprised how delicious it was! I actually had seconds and then thirds (the third serving is because I'm 8 months' pregnant and always hungry!). ;-) I was actually craving this again, so I made it last night. I had some extra English muffins, so we toasted those and served the beef over the muffins instead of regular toast. It was fantastic. Thank you for such a great, easy recipe! Once the baby gets here and I have limited time in the kitchen, I know this will be a meal I'll make often because it's so simple. Yum!

This was AWESOME! My hubby wouldn't stop talking about it for days. He brought the leftovers to work, where he became quite popular after offering samples to his colleagues. Like others suggested, I also boiled the grits in a combo of broth and milk. I also tossed in with the shrimp a (drained) can of Rotel to give it a bit of a spicy kick. Since I couldn't find the garlic cheese, I added 1 cup of shredded pepper jack and 3/4 cup of shredded cheddar to the grits. Turned out wonderfully. Thanks for such a delicious recipe! Even my mother-in-law (who's quite the gourmet) wants the recipe after hearing my hubby go on and on about it. :-)

This recipe is a keeper! I've never had such great results from a crepe recipe as I have from this one. I just mixed my wet ingredients, and then slowly whisked in my dry ingredients. Leftovers store well in the fridge, and taste just as great a day or two later. I put the leftover batter in a tupperware shaker and just gave it a good shake before I was ready to make another batch. Instead of oiling the pan (or using Pam/spray), I put a small amount of butter in a nonstick pan, swirled it around, and then wiped the excess out with a paper towel. The pan remained just oiled enough to make several crepes without making them too greasy.
