I have made, and eaten, a lot of SOS for breakfast in my time. Loosely interpreted, it stands for, um, *Stuff* on a Shingle. In my mind that references the fact that it can basically be made with any meat, and especially ~leftover~ meat. When I was in the Air Force, I kinda remember sausage being added on some days, and it's a great way to use up day old bread... So I was tickled when I happened to see this military recipe on Pinterest, (no link back for credit). Maybe I should just thank Uncle Sam:@) The main difference between this version and mine, I add onion, and the bouillon cube is new to me. So I thought we'd try it, and yep, it's a very tasty way to start the day! SOS can be served over anything, but the traditional shingle is a piece of toast. Biscuits or leftover hamburger buns work well too...
I can only imagine how many folks this recipe has fed...
1 lb hamburger meat
1/4 C A/P flour
1beef bouillon cube
3/4 tsp salt
pinch of ground black pepper
2 1/4 C milk
- Brown beef, stir in flour, bouillon, and S&P.
- Saute, mixing well, 5 minutes or until flour is absorbed.
- Stir in milk, simmer a couple minutes until thickened.
- Serve over toast.
Eat well and have a happy day:@)
It’s a tasty meal, Lynn! My mom used to make it with chipped beef, too. I think I’d like the sausage version.
ReplyDeleteIn the South we make something similar with sausage, it's called sausage gravy and it's served over biscuits and it's to die for good!!
