I was in the Air Force in the 60's. S.0.S was all the troops favorite. Everyone would complain if it wasn't served for breakfast. It just went with eggs and toast.

Just like granny used to make! I love it, it takes me back to my childhood. No way my wife and kids will eat it, I'm afraid. I also remember the screwed up faces of people in the Dfac who'd never heard of or seen this before. :P

Loved it when in the Air Force. Best Hangover cure I ever found. My wife says yuck but, I'm making it tomorrow for breakfast anyway. Maybe she'll try it anyway???

My father was a cook in the army and made this for us every holiday. I didn't like it as a child but when I was pregnant with my second son i had the craving and called dad for the recipe. I have made it every since for every holiday going on 23 years. Love this stuff and the family won't go without it.

We called this hamburg gravy. SOS we always made with chipped beef... doesn't look great, but love the flavor.

Growing up my mom made this however it was simply called hamburger gravy... My brother who was in the navy made it using chipped beef (?) and we had it over toast... Thanks all wonderful memories...

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!!!

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

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

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

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!

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

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

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.

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"
