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.

CREAMED GROUND BEEF SOS



Creamed Ground Beef Sos image

I loved it when Mom used to make this for us! I have no idea if she originally made it for Dad, who had been in the army, or if she just liked it because it tasted good and was a budget stretcher. A traditional favorite, good ol' SOS. Note: the title of this recipe specifies that it is made ground beef, rather than chipped beef; "authentic" SOS is generally made with chipped beef, however many folks also refer to the ground beef version by the same name.

  • Stir in the flour, granulated bouillon, salt, pepper, and garlic and onion powders (and cayenne, if using).

  • Gradually stir in the Worcestershire sauce and milk.

  • Note: when I'm needing to avoid bread or noodles, I'll sometimes make a bunch of sauteed mushrooms and eat this over them, or sometimes with tofu. Delicious!

HAMBURGER SOS



Hamburger SOS image

Need a quick weeknight meal? Try this easy hamburger recipe. It's basically a hamburger gravy and will make everyone happy. We tried it on toast and mashed potatoes. We loved it both ways... so serve on what you have available. Comfort food at its finest.

Provided by Fran Miller

Categories     Burgers

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 1/2 lb ground beef
1/2 c all-purpose flour
4 c cold liquids (milk & water) see note in step #3.
Some salt & pepper, optional

Steps:

  • 1. Brown ground beef in a large skillet, stirring often. Do NOT drain. WARNING: Product Endorsement. I love my ChopStir when I'm cooking ground beef! It's the best kitchen gadget EVER! (OK, I'm finished.)
  • 2. Sprinkle the flour over the ground beef and stir for about 5 minutes, which will lightly brown the flour and soak up the grease.
  • 3. Now, it's time to add the cold liquids. I personally use about 3 cups of milk & 1 cup of cold water, but this is a personal decision. If I'm low on milk, I just make up the difference in cold water. No one has ever noticed yet. =^..^= So add the liquids and stir well.
  • 4. Add salt & pepper, if desired. Continue cooking the gravy for a few more minutes until it thickens to your desired consistency. If it's too thin, cook it longer. If it's too thick, add a little more cold liquid.
  • 5. Serve over slices of toast (the "shingles" of SOS fame; see note above) and/or mashed potatoes. Or skip the knife and tear up the toast pieces before adding the gravy. Just keeping it simple, right? =^..^=
