    When I enlisted in the Navy, I was from Massachusetts. SOS was served every day but being an Italian from Massachusetts, I didn't even want to look at it. Then, one morning, I woke up late and was starving. When I go to the mess line, SOS was all they had left so I grabbed some. It was like an epiphany. I couldn't believe how good it was. I could never sell it to my family. When I got married, the cook on my ship graciously taught my wife how to make it. Well, many, many years have passed. My wife has passed. But, every now and then, I make SOS for myself and remember the good days in the navy, my wife, and the cook who was gracious enough to teach my wife how to make it.

      Being a Navy Vet and Italian (family comes from Revere) I like to sprinkle some Romano or Parmesan cheese on top and usually butter my toast also... it's good "stick to your ribs" good food on a cold winter day... I suppose you could drizzle a good Olive Oil over your toast first and call it "healthy"... lol

      @@Jessiepinkerman Chipped Beef on Toast
      Ingredients
      1 jar of dried beef slices rinsed well & chopped
      4 tbsp butter
      4 tbsp flour
      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.

    My dad was a cook in the Army Air Force in World War II and stationed in France. They taught him how to make SOS with chipped beef, and when he got out of the Air Force he taught my mom how to do it. My brother's and I had it served up to us quite often. Once we found out what the name meant, we thought it was hilarious, and it was one of our favorite dishes. To this day I love making it.

    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.

    I was a young Army Paratrooper at Fort Bragg N.C. In 1980. I am from California (now in Virginia) and had never tasted this. I fell in love with it while in the Army and have been craving it. I’m now 61 and retired and came here to learn how to make it. I’m gonna make it for my Asian wife and our daughter but……what is the brand of beef used here? Thank you for the awesome video. I can’t wait to taste this.

      There are a couple of different brands. The one in the jars is from Armor meats. The other one comes in a packet and I'm sorry I can't remember the name but you can usually find it in the luncheon meat section of your grocery store. Have fun and enjoy!

    Yours is the first video I came across where you put the beef in the skillet with the butter first - just like my mom always did. I believe it enhances the flavor and gives some depth to the finished gravy. Add some scrambled eggs and sliced tomatoes for the perfect weekend breakfast.

While I'm making the rue, I soak the chipped beef in very cold water (takes out alot of the salt) when rue is done, I squeeze out the chipped beef and breakup into the rue. Toast bread, then spoon on the creamed beef. Yummy!

    Too salty without soaking it first in hot water!

      Mama and Daddy didn't soak it, so I never have. I've found that the salt dissipates into the cream gravy, but I also always say the way your mama made it is best!
