I still love this meal! I have since substituted sausage or combo of sausage and chorizo. Also now biscuits.

10 Dec 67 enlisted USMC. Had this every morning at every Marine mess hall at every duty station served. Brings back fond memories. Serving up this recipe to bunch of young National Guard troopers come next week. So, how many people this recipe serve?

Thank you - thank you for submitting this. I have tried for years to find a good recipe for SOS. When I noticed your recipe had garlic powder ~ Worcestershire - I KNEW this was what I had been searching for. Loved the addition of (Have Tabasco handy)... Thanks again

I have not tried this yet but will. I love Creamed Chipped beef. I have some cans of Roast Beef and was not sure what to do with them. I plan on making this recipe and using the roast beef instead of ground beef. Thanks. It looks like the recipe can be altered in many ways depending on what you have on hand.

Gunny, I've eaten gallons of SOS. I make it quite often for supper... the kids love it. I make it almost exactly as your recipe. Some times it varies 'cause I use what's at hand. Also make it with breakfast sausage.
Good recipe... Semper Fi

Dad served in the Army. He taught me how to make Shit on a Shingle. We used chipped beef and served over English muffins. It always brings back warm memories of him.

Thanks GySgt Joe for this recipe. My Dad was Army (Korea) and he used to make this all time, brings back great memories!

Awesome recipe, better than the Navy version!

I haven't tried this recipe yet, but eyeballing the ingredients it seems like an awful lot of garlic. Really, 2 tablespoons of garlic powder? I have dehydrated chopped garlic in my pantry. Also garlic powder.

I was a cook mos coming out of boot camp 1-72 went to camp hansen north caddy laky. wound being a cook at HGS parris island . I enjoyed making this cream beef. My dad and 2 uncles served in WW2 GERMANY AND JAPAN. next generation my two oldes brothers served in nam and I just was a frecking cook lows m.o.s in the marine corps behind Ramington raiders (office clerks) I served but there is no dinity from being the lowest from the barrel-schum.

I've never had it. My reply is to say Thank Each and Everyone of you that served! God Bless You.

Really good. I made it for my dad, a retired Marine. We both loved it. Thanks

I was a young 19 boot camp Marine in 1971 and all we were told Marines are killers and Office clerks and cooks were at the bottom of the pot. We were treated like sh*t. SEMPER FI SEMPRI IFDALIS. ALWAYS BUT We were there.

Never had it with hamburger. SOS is made with chipped beef, very little fat all flavor. Hamburger makes it greasy unless you use a sirloin burger.

Absolutely!

My Dad made it for us, but used fried bologna instead. It was great and I made it for my family when I got married. Yum!
