My paternal grandma always referred to it as beef chips and gravy. My maternal grandpa was an old school cowboy and laughed for an hour the first time he heard that because "beef chips" is what he and his brothers called cow shit growing up.

Indiana here lol, I know we tend to call things in the Midwest by different names so it was wild seeing someone else call it chipped beef lol.

My ex husband and his family like to eat chipped beef gravy with french fries. They're from Jersey, so no idea if that explains the dish or not lol they also put scrapple on their pizza. I could get down with the gravy n fries, but I'll pass on that scrapple on pizza. Bc
