Air Force style SOS is a simple yet delicious dish that has been served in the United States Air Force since the 1950s. It consists of a creamy sauce made with milk, butter, and flour, served over toast or biscuits. SOS is an acronym for "smothered, covered, and topped with sausage", and it is typically made with ground sausage, onions, and bell peppers. While the exact origins of SOS are unknown, it is believed to have been created by Air Force cooks who were looking for a way to use up leftover sausage. Today, SOS is a popular dish among Air Force personnel and veterans, and it can also be found on the menus of many civilian restaurants.

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.

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.
