HAMBURGER CREAMED GRAVY OR SOS

I LOVED this for 20 years, My favorite Breakfast (or Midnight Chow) consisted of SOS on toast and a Ham, Cheese and Mushroom Omlett. Oh and with a side of sausage links!

This gravy is wonderful over toast, biscuits, rice, pasta, potatoes and grits! I love it over mashed potatoes. Some people make this with chipped or dried beef, too. This was an Army staple, thus the SOS name. An easy and economical dish.

1 pound ground beef
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1 clove minced garlic
1/4 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 cups milk (OR you can use one 12 ounce can of evaporated milk and enough water to make 2 cups)

Brown ground beef, onion and garlic until beef is cooked. Drain. Put hamburger back in skillet and add flour, salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce and milk. Simmer until gravy thickens. Makes 6 to 8 servings. Enjoy!

And I DID put it in the Cookbook thread. YES, IT'S THAT GOOD! smile

SOS!

I loved SOS. I sent your recipe to Mrs. Architect. I expect we'll have it soon, very very soon.

Could you just bottle some of the air from the kitchen while she's cooking it? smile

SOS beef gravy, this was by far the best thing ever available in chow line. This is coming from a guy who otherwise could care less for gravy. Thanks for sharing, I have wanted to know how to make this for quite a while. smile
