One of my fondest food memories of my Air Force days was Creamed Ground Beef SOS. I’ve tried many times to duplicate it but have been mostly unsuccessful.
This is one recipe I can recommend, however, it’s darned close to the military version but really delicious in its own right.
SOS was originally made with dried chipped beef, however, many folks also refer to the ground beef version by the same name.
It’s a dish that’s not only good but very frugal.
