SOS -- "STUFF" ON A SHINGLE
After being wounded in Italy in 1944, my grandfather returned home and improvised a dish he was often served in the military. The Army called it "Chipped Beef on Toast". The soldiers called it Something (I can't mention here) On a Shingle, and in classic military tradition, that name was reduced to SOS. My grandfather taught this recipe to my dad, who, in turn, also taught it to my mother and me. My mother, who is offended by the idea of having the first "S" of SOS on her table, calls it Creamed Beef on Toast. All measures are approximate. Because of this, the recipe multiplies well. Heck, you could make enough to feed an army. ;-)

Steps:
- Combine ground beef, onion and garlic on a large skillet or pot, and brown the beef.
- Once the beef is browned and your onions clear, add the flour. There are two important things to note here - (1) Do not drain the beef (2) Add enough flour to completely absorb all the liquid in the pan.
- Once all fluid is absorbed by the flour and you have a nice roux, add your milk. Again, remember that the measures are approximate. So, you want to add about twice as much milk as flour.
- *Do not be afraid of adding too much milk. If you do, you will just have to cook it for longer in the next step, but the flavor will reward you for your efforts.
- Season with salt and pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and slowly cook away the fluid, stirring often, until you have a nice thick milk gravy.
- Spoon generous amounts over dry toast (like an open-faced sandwich) and enjoy.
- We never have it with a salad or veggies, but they would go well this dish.

SOS (STUFF ON A SHINGLE)
Somehow, chipped beef gravy got to be known as S.O.S. in the Navy and to all but us old timers. Well it ain't !! The real thing is made with a base of ground beef and a few other things. After messing up 5,000 lbs of burger and 30 years of searching I found this basic recipe in the May 2005 issue of The American Legion magazine letters section. It's for 15+ people but it freezes quite well for later use. In the Navy, this was a breakfast dish, but I've used it for every meal. Measurements are close enough to be good.

Steps:
- In a deep heavy pot, brown the butter and then brown the meat in browned butter.
- Add onion, pepper and celery and cook till they just start to soften. Season with salt & pepper.
- Without draining off fat or juices, stir in enough flour to absorb all liquids.
- Stir in Tomatoes, hot water and tomato juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly till mixture starts to thicken.
- Stir in Nutmeg and continue to cook for about five minutes to insure flour cooks. If you don't think it is thick enough, add some more flour well mixed in cold water.
- Serve hot over toast, biscuits, pancakes or corn bread, even a bagel.
- Freeze leftovers in individual serving in sealed sandwich baggies. Reheat in microwave and bust your gut again!

Tips:
- Freshness Matters: For the best results, use fresh ground sausage. Fresh sausage will have a more pronounced flavor and will cook more evenly. If you can't find fresh ground sausage, you can use frozen ground sausage, but be sure to thaw it completely before cooking.
- Cook Your Sausage Thoroughly: Ground sausage should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) to ensure that it is safe to eat. You can use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the sausage.
- Use a Large Skillet: You'll need a large skillet to cook the sausage and gravy in. A 12-inch skillet is ideal. If you don't have a large skillet, you can cook the sausage and gravy in batches.
- Make Sure Your Gravy is Thick: The gravy should be thick enough to coat the biscuits. If your gravy is too thin, you can add a little cornstarch or flour to thicken it.
- Serve Immediately: Sausage and SOS is best served immediately after it is made. The biscuits will get soggy if they sit for too long.
Conclusion:
Sausage and SOS is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast dish that is perfect for a busy morning. It is also a great way to use up leftover sausage. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a hearty and satisfying breakfast that the whole family will enjoy. So, next time you're looking for a quick and easy breakfast, give sausage and SOS a try. You won't be disappointed!
