SAUSAGE OR BEEF S. O. S. (STUFF ON A SHINGLE)
After 32 years in the military, I have become quite fond of S.O.S.. I'm the cook in our house, but I get breakfast cooked for me twice a year (my birthday and anniversary). My request is always the same--S.O.S. This is my wife's recipe--I love it.

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:
- Choose your preferred sausage or ground beef: For a classic S.O.S., opt for ground beef. However, if you prefer a more savory flavor, use breakfast sausage or spicy sausage.
- Chop your vegetables finely: This will help them cook evenly and blend well with the other ingredients.
- Brown the sausage or beef first: This will give it a nice flavor and help prevent it from becoming dry.
- Add the vegetables and cook until tender: This will add flavor and texture to the dish.
- Stir in the flour or cornstarch: This will help thicken the gravy.
- Gradually whisk in the milk or broth: This will help prevent lumps from forming.
- Season with salt and pepper: To taste.
- Serve immediately over toast, biscuits, or mashed potatoes: This will help soak up the gravy and make a delicious and comforting meal.
