Old US Army SOS Recipe for Breakfast

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...
