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 I have no idea if she originally made it for Dad, who had been in the army, or if she just liked it because it tasted good and was a budget stretcher.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. Ingredients:
1 lb lean ground beef |
1/4 cup chopped onion |
1/4 cup flour |
1 teaspoon beef bouillon powder |
3/4 teaspoon salt, to taste |
fresh ground black pepper, to taste |
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder or 1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic |
1/4 teaspoon onion powder (optional) or 1/4 teaspoon granulated onion (optional) |
cayenne powder, to taste |
1/2 teaspoon worcestershire sauce |
2 1/4 cups milk |
Directions:
1. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef and onion.
2. Stir in the flour, granulated bouillon, salt, pepper, and garlic and onion powders (and cayenne, if using).
3. Saute all together until flour is absorbed, about 5 minutes.
4. Gradually stir in the Worcestershire sauce and milk.
5. Bring it all to a simmer, stirring, and cook until thickened, about 5 to 10 minutes.
6. Serve over toast, biscuits, noodles, rice, or potatoes.
7. 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!
