I remember my mom making this only on a larger scale. Because my dad and I would make pigs of ourselves.

SOS!

This was and still is the best military breakfast a person can have.

I have tried it once and it was great!

I use 1/2 cup of butter and brown the dried beef in it first. Then I sprinkle the flour over it and work it in. Then add the milk a little at a time. Pepper it and stir until it becomes thick. Serve over biscuits.

I found that if the dried beef is browned in the roux it is dry and chewy. I prefer to add it after the sauce is complete.

I love this meal! We have always added 2 chopped up hard boiled eggs in with the beef.

When I make cream dried beef, first I fry the dried beef in the butter then finish the recipe. Brings the flavor out..

Saute a 1/4 cup chopped onions in the butter before adding other ingredients and add just a dash of ground cloves just before serving. I have heard of just adding the beef to cream of mushroom soup - anyone tried that?

I love this stuff ! Mom made it all the time. But She use a whole gallon of milk. very fattening .....But O sooo good. She told me it was really called S.O.S

When I make creamed beef, I rinse beef strips under hot water to remove excessive salt. I use kitchen shears to cut beef strips into bite-size pieces over colander. Then continue recipe. Sometimes I add frozen chopped onion that I saute in the butter or margarine. I have used hamburger meat and cream of mushroom soup and added small box of frozen peas in last 5 minutes of cooking. Excellent served over mashed potatoes, rice or steamed noodles. My husband was in USAF for over 30 years.

I also rinse the chipped beef to remove some of the salt and use shears to snip the beef into smaller pieces! This recipe is awesome. Mom and Dad cooked it this way when they were alive and I do now for my grand-children. Sweet memories!

Best U.S.Marine Corps breakfast ever. Every now and then I'd skip chow but when word would come back that cream beef and hashbrowns were on the menu I'd head straight to the mess hall. I've been out for years and still reminisce about it

Very good! Just like Mom made. Dad served in the army during the second world war and said it was a favorite meal of the troops. It was served on toast. They had a name for it - SOS. (S**t on a shingle)

Yep! this was a great meal when I was growing up....Grew up a Navy Brat and Bryan is correct about the military name. SOS

I made this for my boyfriend and he loved it. Now were are going camping and bought enough to make for the whole gang as a surprise breakfast. This is a simply recipe and so easy to make.

6 years 5 months and 23 days in the 82nd airborne division and i never missed a meal when S.O.S. was on the menu. It was my favorite meal. I always went back for seconds or thirds or until they ran me out of the Mess Hall. now same 49years later and I still love it.
