    My Dad used to make this for us. It was so good. He called it SOS. I think the ‘real’ SOS may be made with chipped beef but hamburger is better. He always added a little garlic, he was Italian and a WWII vet. We ate it on toast.

    The first time I had this was when I was a cadet at Marine Military Academy, which is also where I learned it's nickname which, abbreviated, is "SoS." I understood the second-S because a slice of bread can visually represent a roofing shingle, but the dish NEVER deserved its first-S because it was delicious! I even made it after I graduated and came home to go to college, and then later when I was a sole-custody single parent needing to feed a hungry kid. And now it's going on the menu for next week. Thanks for reminding me!

      People love sausage gravy. Well, take that sausage gravy recipe, substitute ground beef for the sausage, adjust the spices, and make it thicker, and you have what I understand they sometimes call "chipped beef" but we'll (unfortunately) always know as "SoS."

    I use half and half instead of milk and heavy cream or if using milk only I would add more butter. The reason is that the dairy fat is what's providing most of the flavor in this gravy. Another thing I do different is to cook the onions and ground beef at the same time. The beef will be mostly browned about the same time as your onions become translucent. I also add flour at the same time as I begin adding the liquid and I gradually add the liquid rather than adding it all at once since it takes less time to add a little more liquid as opposed to reducing the liquid. All in all a good gravy. As far as the soy and worcestershire sauce that would depend on what I'm having the gravy with.

    I’ve never used soy sauce but I usually add crushed red pepper. Dad taught me this, he was Air Force and called it SOS in polite company.
