Two more ingredients: black pepper and a splash of Tabasco or Frank's Hot Sauce.

Loved it !!!!! I did add a little more flour and pepper.

No Thank you, I remember something like that when in the navy. I made an oath then, that as long as there were other things to eat, I wouldn't ever eat that stuff again. God Bless, Larry

Your recipe is ok but I did it a bit different while I was a cook in the Army and Air Force. I found it better to drain the oil and beef fat after the ground beef was browned a bit. Then replace it with butter. Before the flour was added I would add beef soup and gravy base and then flour and the other ingredients. Most troops liked their S.O.S. over fried potatoes along with eggs, bacon and toast.

Excellent recipe! I actually liked commissary food. My fiancée tweaked it a bit... she uses baked Pillsbury "butter tastin" southern homestyle Grands biscuits. The best chipped beef was the stuff that came in those US Gov't marked grey industrial size cans.

Thanks for posting this... Creamed Beef on Toast or SOS which we called it in the Air Force... served During Nam and in Panama... 8.5 years... glad to know there are some people that care and "SHARE" their recipes...

I was stationed in Panama and we had some doggone good S--- on the Shingle. Most of the time but what was really good at the snack bar was Panamanian Empanadas. Umm, can taste one now!

This is my best breakfast when served on board US Navy ship. Love the cream beef on biscuits and fried egg. GO Navy!!!!

LOVED IT Didn't like the looks of it when I first saw it but it quickly became a fovorite daily! As a former 19D it's the breakfast that will get you threw till lunch! Flavor to taste or a bit of hot sauce ah yes Sorry Larry your cook must not have made it right. Over toast with 2 egg's over medium on top of it Mmmmm-mmmmm I'm all over it ;) "Scouts Out"

While I was stationed @ Cherry Point NC. I remember the first time it was offered to me and I asked what it was because it did not look appetizing. Passed it over until nothing left to eat one morning. Decided to give it a try over hashbrowns with two medium cooked eggs. Hooked from that day on. It did need more seasoning.

Hubby loves it - he was in the Airforce. I tried it, I love it too!

The Marine Corps cook has to throw in his two cents here. We made this stuff everyday in the mess hall, be it at Jacksonville or Okinawa or 29 Palms. I have not made it in forever, but here we go!!! Semper Fi

Grew up on it as a kid, LOVE-IT! Grandad-Navy 19 years, Dad-Air Force 4 years, Uncle USMC Veitnam, Me-Air Force 24 years. SOS a family tradition. Beer chaser is a nice touch. Get some!

Herman from S. Carolina is right. That is the only way to prepare this classic dish!

Man It was real good, my dad use to make this kind of cream beef. Just like old times. Good job , Great recipe.

As a former 11bangbang, I loved it when they had SOS for chow along with green eggs.

I absolutely loved this recipe! While my dad and family was stationed in the Philippines (1965 - 1971) this became a treat to me.. I even covered the top with black pepper just like my daddy (was 6 - 11 yr old) and all of his navy buddies were amazed that I liked it soooo much! This recipe was heaven sent... Thank you for sharing!!! and GOOOO NAVY!!!
