SOS - MILITARY STYLE

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.

  • Season the SOS to taste: SOS is a versatile dish that can be seasoned to your liking. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.
  • Serve SOS with your favorite sides: SOS can be served with a variety of sides, such as eggs, toast, biscuits, or hash browns.

Conclusion:
