I don't think Steve would have imagined that he would be helping people through tough times like these with his charming wit, positive attitude and tasty cooking. I know it's certainly helped me. Thank you Steve, I hope you're resting well and thank you Sheila for keeping the show going.
When the 5 grandkids and their parents came to live with us I was cooking for 9! I made this for supper with sides of fresh green beans, sliced fresh tomatoes and fresh cucumbers all from the garden. The kids had never had it before. I ended up making two huge pans of it! We used the refrigerated PKG kind. WOW! And yes we called it SOS, they called it gone! That was 8 years ago and once and awhile they remember and have asked me for the recipe.
I sure miss Steve, but it's nice to be able to have him around through the magic of video, sharing his recipes and his stories and memories. My mom also made this a lot when I was a kid too. I love it and still do.
In the 1916 MANUAL FOR ARMY COOKS, page 181, we find recipe 384: Beef, chipped (for 60 men). Ingredients used: 15 pounds chipped beef. 1 pound fat, butter preferred. 1¼ pounds flour, browned in fat. 2 cans evaporated milk. 1 bunch parsley. ¼ ounce pepper. 6 quarts beef stock. Melt the fat in the pan and add the flour; cook a few minutes; mix the milk and beef stock, or water; stir the batter in slowly to prevent lumping; add the beef and cook a few minutes. Add the parsley and serve on toast. If the beef is very salty, it should be scalded before cooking.
Great memories. My mom would make this for dinner , but she used a couple of packages of Buddig sliced beef instead of the dried beef in a jar. She would serve over homemade mashed potatoes. Delicious! My mom was a great cook.
It is the best memory. My Mom made it and I had it plenty of times while in the Navy. Gotta make it. It has been over 15 years since I had some. Looks so good!! Glad you mentioned the salt at the end. I found that the beef was salty enough.
When I was in the service they cooks used ground beef. It was not bad but with a little seasoning it wouls do. I now make it with dried beef but to reduce the salt I rinse the beef before adding it to the white sauce. Love lots of pepper.
Enjoyed watching Steve cooking this, you can tell he was having such fun. If I had a nickel for every gallon of this the U.S. military has served I would never have to worry about money again. The official name was chipped beef on toast, of course everybody called it S.O.S., very efficient use of day- old bread. Thanks so much for keeping Steve's channel and his memory alive.
This recipe was sent down from heaven! Thank you Steve! We miss your awesome videos and your amazing soul! I just made this today and this was by far the best I've ever tasted!
Awe that is sweet! Very kind comment! Glad you loved it!👩🍳👩🍳. You can type in. shotgunred1000 and see a lot of videos of Steve out fishing in his garden etc...
great video as always. I just happened to think of this meal and typed it in and here it is. grandma always made this for her grandkids miss you grandma.
My favorite gravy! I always rinse my beef to get rid of some of the saltiness, chop it, cook it up with my flour and butter, then add the milk, the best gravy in the world! My mother always made this as well, great memories!! Thank you for bringing this recipe back! Oh, with lots of pepper and served on toast, of course! 😃
@@CookingwithShotgunRed yes, Ma'am, you guys are wonderful bringing these old recipes back to life! Alot of the "newer" generation might not know, it was really an inexpensive meal yet the best I can remember, hugs to you all!
I loved this growing up as a child and still love it today. We use the "Budding" brand corned beef from the lunch meat section. I really enjoy all the video's! RIP, your spirit lives within us!
My mom made this alot when we were kids. She used the left over roast to make this, it was one of my favorite meals. Havent had it in years...... After seeing this i think im gonna make some this week!
Wow that is so easy and yummy looking! Thank you sir. My mum made this in the late fifties and early sixties with a jello dessert to cleanse the pallet. So many good memories. Mum rinsed and cut up the beef first. Thanks again.
Hello Steve, Thank You so much for this chip beef gravy, My Mom always made this and we also put it over toast, I was not sure how she made it,.... Now i know,.... Thank You again!
Ive only had this like 4 times in my life. I had a hankering for it so I got the ingredients and will be making it tomorrow. Ive watched a dozen recipes - all somewhat similar with slight adjustments to the butter / flour / milk ratios (and meat). I make steak or pork chops au poivre from time to time and happened to make chops this week. Ive seen recipes using 2% and whole. I think Im going to try this with Heavy Cream. Why not haha. Thanks for the recipe / vid!
I used unsalted butter, because the Hormel dried beef is salty. About 2-1-2 cups of milk in the long run, for me. Great recipe Steve! I haven’t had this since I was an army medic:). Love it!. BTW, miss you Steve.
These are the recipes I love I haven’t ever had this one but my mom did make similar things which turned out amazing but what I love is the cost it’s cheep and tastes great!
I remember eating this for lunch in grade school. We had a rather rude name for it, lol, but it was definitely a lunchtime favorite. Never knew how to make it until now.
R.I.P. Shotgun Red! Another variation I like (goes back to my school lunch days in the '70s) is S.O.S.-Sh#t on a Sneaker. Creamed chipped beef on a waffle. The best!
Somehow I missed this video! An alternative for the chipped beef is Buddig's 'skinny' meat packaged sliced Beef and diced to your preference size. Growing up, Mom used Buddig to make 'skinny meat' sandwiches with cheese, pickle slices and mustard packed inside a hamburger bun, wrapped in tin foil and baked in our over for a few minutes to melt the cheese and toast the bun.
Growing up poor in the '60's, my mother was a single Mom with 3 kids, I LOVED this meal. My mom used to "fry" the chipped beef in the butter, then add the flour. OMG the flavor the chipped beef infused into the butter and the gravy was intense. I think I'll make some tonight!
My grandpa used to make this for us. SOS was the name. He was indeed a WWII Army vet. So many memories from my childhood in this recipe. My mom hated it. Us kids loved it. Lol.
My Mom used to do this with packaged sandwich meat and jarred gravy. Lot of kids and no money. Still tasty, but then my ex-wife did it just like yours and my brain exploded. Saved. Thank you!
You can also serve on mashed potatoes. Make it all the time. I use the packages of beef meat You get also in turkey and one other . is in the cooler section. Thanks watch you all the time. C snyder
@@CookingwithShotgunRed I've been watching this channel for a couple of years and I'm sorry I didn't realize that. RIP Steve. I guess you really were, as I imagined, bigger than life.
My mom made it all the time but with shaved dried beef, never Jared. Also SOS is only made using the day before left over hamburgers all chopped up. It's ONLY a military thing. Creamed chipped beef on toast is what you made. My grandparents were Mennonite and it came from them.
Not SOS. Te name comes from WW II. When the army made it with hamburger and a mor brothy sauce. For expense, Time and volume. To feed the troops they made it by the gallons. The more watery nature of the broth and the brown chunks of burger appeared like the discharger because intestinal distress.
My husband always talked about his mom making this and he loved it. I never had it. Made and ate plenty of biscuits and gravey but never this. Never could get it to taste like his mom's so I finally told him to make it. Lol wish I had this video back in the day.😉😉
Oh how I miss Steve. His personality is just so honest, genuine, down to earth, and attractive. These videos of him bring back so many fond (but now bittersweet) memories of my childhood. Sometimes, just watching these cooking videos brings tears to my eyes. Everyone that used to be in my life when Steve and Shotgun Red were also a strong presence in my life are all gone home now to our Heavenly FATHER. It shocked me so much to hear of Mr. Hall's passing back in December 2018, and oddly, even though I never met him, I took it very hard. It is so hard to believe that he, too, has now gone home to our Heavenly FATHER just like my family members before him. We all miss you, Mr. Hall, and I personally wish you the utmost of peace, blessing, and eternal joy now that you are with our FATHER in Heaven and our magnificent Saviour JESUS CHRIST experiencing THEIR Glory. I can't wait to meet you there one day and thank you for the happiness you brought to my life both as a child and now as an adult. †

Raised IN a orphanage and home made this one of my favorite meals...YUMMY
Food can bring back memories! :)
My favorite breakfast for twenty years in the U.S. Navy and I STILL love that for breakfast. Yours looked perfect.

That was my favorite breakfast on my first ship when I was in the Navy. I am going to have to try this!
Mom made this when we went camping,.I've been searching for the ingredients for years.
Thank you!
When times were tough, this was a treat, and probably pretty inexpensive to feed a family
I was born in 1968, so i started school in '73. I remember having this all during my school years. 😊

We used to get that in the Army.

That's smart! Buddig is much cheaper ❤
This brings back memories, 1st time I had this was in January 1973 basic training. Loved it then and just had this week
January 1973 I was just graduating Basic Training then... pleased to meet you and Thank you for your service.
Little piece of heaven right there. Miss you big guys!

You are so welcome! Nothing like great food memories. Steve passed away Dec 2018.
I grew up on this and the ground beef version, too. It’s still one of my favorite go-to meals. It’s great very any kind of carb or vegetable. Yummm!
Sounds great!
me too / my Mom was an Ohio Farm girl. mmm mm
Yup! My Mom used hamburger too. But I also love the dried beef.
Ate and made it for years!!
It is a staple in a lot of homes👍😃
Yummm,
brings back fantastic memories of my mom making SOS - I can smell it ..... just by watching Steve make it!!!
Food memories are great!😊😀
I have never had it that way, mom always made it with sausage. I’m going to have to try the chipped beef, it looks delicious!
Hope you enjoy Richard! shotgunred.com

Another simple great dish. I get dried beef at the local deli - it is that much better. Thanks for the videos!

Your welcome Jill! :)
This brings back such pleasant memories. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it! :)
Do you have any more great recipes that you can post
I was told that the dried beef needs to be soaked in water first. It's to get the saltiness out and makes the meat a bit tender.
Awesome informative Video experience Y'alls God Bless Ya 🙌🙏
Thanks so much
I remember eating this for lunch in grade school. We had a rather rude name for it, lol, but it was definitely a lunchtime favorite. Never knew how to make it until now.

Use a little hot pepper instead of black pepper.

Looks yummy 😛
Thank you 😋
I like to get my dried beef from the deli section of the grocery store. I also like to put a dab of butter on top of it just before I eat my SOS.
Great tip! Thanks for watching!👩🍳👩🍳
This looks good, I wouldn't use 1/2 C butter. When I make a white sauce I only use 2-4 Tbsp.
My mom made this for us w fresh chip beef in refrigeratored pkgs and make a white sauce w peas and chopped parsley or cilantro
Nothing like Mama’s cooking!! ❤️
I couldn't resist Sheila, I just ordered my shotgun red doll, I love SOS, going to get stuff to make it now!
Thanks for ordering! :)
Sos is the best!
Thanks Rick! Also for watching this video!😀👍💗
I love Shotgun Red... found him looking for bluegill recipes some years back... we will miss Steve Hall, forever immortalized here!
Thank you for you’re kind words😊
I put a pinch of ground cayenne in mine...yummy

SOS, an army classic.
