4 tbsp butter
4 tbsp flour
Pinch of cayenne
2 cups milk
Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste
Bread toasted
How To Make Creamed Chipped Beef on Toast
Rinse the slices of dried beef really well – they are VERY salty! Once you have rinsed well, pat dry with a paper towel.
Chop the beef into small bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
Heat the butter in the large saucepan over medium heat.
Add the flour and pinch of cayenne pepper to the melted butter and whisk until well combined and cooked through, about 45 seconds.
Very slowly add the milk while whisking continually.
Once the milk has all been added, add the chopped dried beef.
Cook, stirring occasionally, for a few minutes until thickened.
Taste and season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste, if needed.
Serve on top of dry toast immediately. Enjoy.

SOS is a favorite of mine. I simplify by using pioneer pepper gravy mix. I boil the beef with some bullion and then add the prepared gravy mix and simmer a bit. Eat it over toast, biscuit or potatos . I never had it with the tomatos. The recipes you gave look great.

notice the difference between usmc and army??

I was with the marines off and on as a navy corpsman. I dont recall having their version. Never had the army one. The navy version I had the most was chipped beef on toast.

I never saw chipped beef on toast on my tin can. You must have been living the high life. Except for having to be around all those damn jarheads all the time. Did you keep crayons with you as treats.

When and where? My little bro was a Corpsman with 2/6

Third Med in Okinawa 85-86. was also on the USS Okinawa 87-90 which was usually full of them. Bluesman never ate them out of a can, we had MREs and it was not a choice.

Yeah it was nice to have prepared food for every meal. Fresh bread, fresh rolls, etc. Gotta say, Navy got the best food.

No argument re best food. This thread caused me to check the cupboard and I have some dried beef. Got breakfast and dinner planned for tomorrow.

sounds good in this weather. ever tried it on top of a couple of fried eggs. good stuff.

Thanks I may do that. temp is forecast to be around 6 degrees breakfast time so extra calories cant hurt.

think i'm gonna make up some jarhead sos and have it on fried eggs tomorrow morning myself.

Enjoy. I slept in and did not make anything. Maybe later.

I always loved that stuff when I was in the Air Force. That and an omelet from midnight chow sure was good.

TB - I hear you. I did too. Luckily I made some last nite and put it in the fridge. A scoop or to on top of my eggs was great.

Thinks for sharing these. I love SOS over toast w/eggs. I keep it simple; grd meat mixed with pan sausage (venison), flower, milk & water. I need try these others for dinner.

Those omelets were the best!

The only difference in USN and USMC SOS is a good Navy Corpsman goes by the USMC chow hall and drops in a little fleet urine..........them jarheads love that stuff.

I remember eating this sometimes for lunch with my granddad. He was a Member of the 82nd Airborne and fought in WWII and Korea.

midrats were the best when we had this, CREAMED CHIPPED BEEF ON TOAST.

some scrambled eggs (only if they were real eggs), fruit and coffee made a good meal.

we did eat pretty good in the Navy.

we never got the ground beef version, at least we knew what the chipped beef looked like.

Use to tear up some SOS at Midnight Chow.

Hopalong,nice to meet another old seadog.MA1 1980-89

NOPE...I can`t get passed the name.
