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

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.

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.

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.

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.
