SOS - MILITARY STYLE



SOS - military style image

Growing up we had this often with a salad,or fresh cooked veggies (my fave with it was fresh peas)My mom used dried chipped beef. Considering the economy now compared to then lean ground beef is just as tasty. If you'd like you could use dried beef - about 6 - 8 ounces, no need to brown dried beef.

CREAMED BEEF FOR SOS



Creamed Beef for SOS image

A Recipe that is always requested from my kids when they come and visit. I spent 20 years of my 28 years in the Air Force in the dining hall. I think I have perfected SOS (Creamed Beef).Very simple and quick. Serve over toast (Shingles) or biscuits or hashed brown potatoes. I know leaving the grease in is not real healthy but it really makes it tasty. If you use anything other then HAMBURGER or drain the grease it will not turn out.

  • Use fresh vegetables: Fresh vegetables will give the sauce a brighter flavor. If you don't have fresh vegetables on hand, you can use frozen or canned vegetables.
  • Serve with your favorite sides: SOS is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides. Some popular options include eggs, toast, hash browns, and grits.
