Military recipe for SOS
Looking for help!!! Are there any elder statesmen who served as Chow Hall Cook?
I'm long in the tooth now, but have to admit, as a young Enlisted teenager my Meal Card was a lifeline.
3 squares a day, room in the barracks, learning a skill, and a paycheck (wasn't much). My military service is treasured...and I miss the breakfast entre of SOS (sh#@ on a shingle). Can anyone help me with a recipe. Have a month-long fishing camp with buddies, and thought I might rekindle some memories!
Salute to all those veterans who grinned reading this!!
Your service is our legacy to America

The military recipe serves 100 people, all of them are that way for convenience...but when I make it now at home ( got out in 1992) here's what I use...2lbs ground beef, 1/2 cup all purpose flour, 3 beef bouillon cubes, 1-1/2 teaspoons Salt, 2-pinches (to taste) Black Pepper, 4-1/2 cups milk, a couple dashes Worcestershire sauce. Brown meat over med. high heat. Stir in flour, salt and pepper. cook together about 5 min.. Gradually add milk and Worcestershire stirring the whole time..bring to a simmer, stirring constantly so it don't scorch the milk, until thickened. About 5-10 minutes. serve hot over toast or biscuits. A quarter teaspoon of garlic powder can be added with the salt pepper and flour. This makes about 8 servings.
This should bring back lots of memories. Enjoy.

Here is what the current recipe from TM 10-412 Recipe L 030 00 Creamed Ground Beef. Mind you this is for 100 6 oz servings...
For any of the recipes you can Google US Army Quarter Master Corps TM 10-412 Recipe Cards then go to the actual military thread, (there are several that's not), and down load all of them on a PDF file. But Remember, they are for 100 people. However with a bit of ciferin' they can be broken down. Hope this helped you all.

My grandfather many years ago had two sayings... "It will stick to your sides" and "It sure beats a snowball". We thought of SOS as a treat when we got it. Us boys just didn't know we were poor. Now a I've gotten older I can see how rich we were.

Jamesdean, Thank you for recipe and Your Service. Questions...do you drain the ground beef prior to adding the flour? Can this be refrigerated (leftovers)
