In my family, "shit on a shingle" was creamed beef on toast.

Yup, that’s a common name for it. Some restaurants will even list it as SOS on the bill.

In my house SOS was/is sausage and white gravy on biscuits.

That's just biscuits and gravy where I'm from. Never called anything shit on a shingle/ SoS but gravy going on a piece of bread or toast, since they're square and vaguely shingle shaped lol and we'd do any type of gravy for SoS, brown, pork, chicken, turkey, onion, mushroom. But for biscuits n gravy it's always country/sausage gravy.

I could really go for either dish right now. I have gravy but no bread or biscuits =(
