Kiddos were very young and at a finicky stage (guess the parents were too) but this sounds somewhat similar to what the OP is talking about.

Substitute tater tots instead of the mashed potatoes on top and you have that world-renowned Minnesota favorite...TATER TOT HOT DISH!!!

It sounds similar to Shepard’s Pie

Thank you! I read the recipe for the Chinese Pie and it is definitely something I will try!

This green bean (French style only) dish has been served once a month or so in our family for 60 years, sans crock pot. Mashed potatoes, green beans, then hamburger gravy on top. Called SOS when boys were little, real name from mother is $hit on $hingle, her version, I know there are others.

It had fried beef and corn on bottom with onions and other stuff all cooked.

Then mashed potatoes on the top and then cooked in a casserole like baking pan in the oven. With tomato sauce over the top.

Never heard of this while living in Wisconsin, Minnesota nor in Illinois. Nor when a teen in Reno, Nevada where people came from all over to work for warehouses and gambling related businesses.

Ever hear of Scrapple that’s equal to SLOP but some think it’s a delicacy along wit SPAM.

It’s called leftovers……

Pate Chinois (Quebec Style Shepherd's Pie ) • Curious Cuisiniere

There sure are a lot of versions of this.

SOS from my navy days was ground beef with gravy on toast. I loved it because it reminded me of home where my mom made creamed chipped beef on toast when I was little. Back then not everyone could afford quails eggs and caviar for breakfast. Come to think of it, I still can't.

I was born in Detroit. It is like Shepard's Pie. We just call it Stuff.....

[Pommom91]

I’m from Detroit and never heard of this. Could be a modification of shepherds pie.

Sounds like Shephard's Pie!

Shepherd's pie is really good. I've made it from time to time and I wouldn't call it slop. My mother never made it, so I didn't grow up on it, but I think it's good. I would never ever consider putting tomato sauce on it, though. That would make I think slop.
