SOS
4TBS butter
4 TBS flour
4 cups milk
Pepper
1/2 jar of dried beef diced
Brooke, just letting you know, the original SOS made with chipped beef suggested you soak the beef in water over night to get rid of the excess salt. Salt was one way to preserve meat in "them olden days", and when you were going to make a meal out of it, it was rinsed and soaked to make it less salty and more palatable for those who didn't like a lot of salt. As you found out, the flour and 4 cups of milk diluted the salt, making it a super simple and delicious meal. Btw, both my mother and father were "Depression era kids", so SOS was just a normal thing for us growing up. I still make a version of it with hamburger on baked potatoes, which is very good. Wasn't surprised at the food frenzy by "the guys"! LOL Great video!
I know that felt so amazing as the one who is always poking I love when a taste test goes like this and everyone is so into it love your videos found a few days ago even binging ever since
My mother grew up in the depression and was in the service of WWII. Very proud of her! She made the best SOS! I loved it on toast! Miss ya Mom 😢
When your family is silently eating all the food... that is a mama accomplishment! Looks yummy!
Hello, I hope you're safe over there? I hope this year brings happiness, prosperity, love, and peace all over the world. I would love us to be good friends in honesty and in trust so as time goes on it will bring something great for us in the future, hope you don't mind?.

My dad is a veteran and 89 years old. SOS is his signature dish that he makes. He uses ground beef instead of dried beef and evaporated milk instead of regular milk. He serves his on toast with black pepper sprinkled on top😊
That’s what my daddy did too

Sounds delicious
Same here. Except it was mother cooking. Dad said that was woman's work. This dish is Creamed Chipped Beef and was on toast in our house. SOS, with ground beef, was over mashed potatoes and probably green peas on the side.
SOS on mashed potatoes with peas sounds so good...thanks for the idea for a supper this week! @@nicelady51
OMG!! I bout fell out of my chair when you asked Dusty which one was his favorite, and his response was, "YES"🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Great video, as always!
lol, they didn't even sit down!!❤

That was the best!! 😂😂😂😂
I grew up eating SOS because we were poor & it filled our tummies. We never bought the dried meat in a jar though. We always had whatever the cheapest package of lunch meat was & mom would’ve just fry those thin pieces of meat up, then do they gravy. We also ate a lot of rice with milk. often times the milk was made from the powdered milk because that was cheaper than regular milk. My mom was so good at coming up with ways to fill out bellies with very little ingredients 🥰
We had rice and milk,too, for breakfast. With a little sugar and cinnamon.
@lea It was crazy but when I was a child, my mom and I both preferred drinking dry milk that she mixed up. I come from a large family and they drank regular milk but she and I liked the nonfat dry. To this day, I prefer as skim style as possible except for cooking.
We had the same thing like using the package of the cheap beef or ham. They were like 3 pms for 1.00
Was going to say the same thing that lunch meat pack of beef it was like .50 growing up but it’s like way more expensive now I love this stuff but I just used bread not toasted lol
@@kariewhitmore9014 buddig beef! That's what my mom used.
Man Brooke, they acted like you never fed them before. I LOVE the reactions. Especially Dusty. I guess you have something for your rotation. You can even use ground hamburger or ground breakfast sausage. We ate this alot through out my childhood on toast. I love it.
I love how Dusty closes his eyes and puts his head back like it's the best food ever. He looks like he enjoys your food so MUCH!! Awesome!!
Yes ma'am I agree with you sweetie ❤❤❤

How many times did you post this? Are you a bot?
Budwig beef sandwich meat also works if the jarred beef is not available. My mom would add peas and pearled onions to the gravy to make it fancier.
We always had it with the little packs of Buddig beef chopped up
Mine,too!
I grew up with THAT meat as the only "lunch meat" we ever had. I never realized how unusual that was until I was much older.
That's what my mom used to make this!
omg yes! my bff’s mom put pearled onions and peas in hers and I tried this version in my early teens. I was in heaven. My first intro to pearl onions. Ms Bobbi Mallow (the chef) was making it “fancy” (stretched) because I was coming over for dinner (guest of honor and also additional teen to feed). 😂
Childhood memory unlocked! My Great-Grandma (born in 1909) Basically raised me ( born in 1986) and I am so thankful for all of the things she shared with me including good ol' cream of chipped beef. She raised 6 kids during the great depression and even though she died when I was 18, I continue to be in aww!
Aww that’s so sweet! Thanks for sharing❤❤❤
I ADORE this. My Granny made this for me every day (at my request) on a baked potato for lunch. I walked to her house from school for this treat and felt like a queen because I wasn't eating a school lunch. She called it Dried Beef Gravy (no onion, plenty of pepper). It was like velvet. Sometimes, today, I make it and put it over mashed potatoes. It's so comforting, and it reminds me of my sweet Appalachian grandmother who could cook anything the South had to offer. She was a wonderful woman.

OMG!! That was hilarious! I loved that they were all over each other trying to get it! Definitely going to have to remake and stand back as they come in the kitchen!! 😅😅

So much respect for those who endured and survived the years of the depression. We had sos all the time when I was a kid, just thought it was easy dish for mom to make and we loved it. Thank you for you research and great money saving hints!
Brooke, I really hope you and Dusty do a joint foraging video where he forages for edible plants and you show how to cook them. Like for this SOS meal there are tons of burr clover, meadow garlic, wild onions and chickweed that could have flushed this meal out. You can really spruce up the bare basics with some foraging.

OMGosh! I think this one seems like the best meal you've ever made for this brood! Rider cracked me up, trying to run off with something call $**t on a shingle! LoL I just love your family! The kids crack me up!
Always used Budding corned beef in a white sauce over potatoes, bread or biscuits. Still eat it twice a month! ❤
😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉🎉
Same! lol
We did too. And they were cheap for the little packets!
Same here, too! My ex-military dad called it SOS, my more refined mom called it chipped beef and gravy. We used canned biscuits, always. We recently made it for nostalgia and hesitated at buying the Carl Budding packets, but there can be no other way.
That's how we used to eat it also except every now and then there would be scrambled eggs on the toast before the carl budding corned beef and gravy ,I'm going to have to make a trip to the store .
This made me laugh so hard. I used to eat SOS made with ground beef so this brings back memories. Dusty holding that plate and saying “Yes” had me busting up. Thank you Brooke for your kindness and smiles while always helping us to stretch our hard earned dollars. I look forward to all of your videos and they never fail to make me smile and make my day brighter.

Just want to say...what a lovely family. You are one of my favorites! Refreshing to see the Braden and Ryder participate...they know they've got a cool mama!
❤ Oh, girl, I'm 65 years old. And I grew up on this. And we used to save the glasses to use for juice, glasses. But $7 for the jar. Now I used to pay a dollar. Something my kids loved it. And then we still eat it today.😂 Your family is such a joy to watch.😂

Lol, the salt will kill ya. 😂😂
My Memaw would make this a lot when I was young. She rinsed it off with water because it is salty. Lol, my Poppa would get mad at her every time too. We would laugh so hard at them.
Thank you for sharing SOS. it brought great memories of my Memaw and Poppa ❤
oh yes. my mom rinsed hers.
The clanging of the forks on the plates and the looks on their faces was hilarious!! What a great meal😋
My mom just called it "dried beef gravy on toast" when I was growing up. I must have been 30 years old when I realized it was, uh, "stuff" on a shingle lol! You created a house full of gravy monsters with this one! 🤣

My great grandmother made sos and taught my mother to make it. It’s amazing honestly. I still make it today in my great grandmothers cast iron skillet just like she did. We would all act exactly the same way your family acted when it was made.
OMG Braden's reaction when he tasted the dried beef at the beginning was priceless! It was like he sucked on a lemon or something. I couldn't stop laughing.

When my mom made this she added peas to it. The chipped beef was cut into smaller pieces too so it filled the gravy more evenly. Your family is so cute! I love when my family enjoys what I cook.
I’m going to try it with peas…sounds yummy!
Oh my granny did that too we loved it with gravy never heard of potatoes
Oh yes! You MUST have peas!
So this is the same as chipped beef on toast?
Same here. It was a treat to have peas in it.
Dusty looks like my happy cat when he eats, eyes closed and nom nom nom!😂❤
That husband and boys of yours are keepers. Just love them and you too Brooke. Looked really tasty!
Love how they were so excited to eat they forgot they were filming. Dusty even forgot to say bye at first. I really like that you showed even at the beginning not everyone liked the dry beef and the baby didn't like it at all. Shows you keep it real and not forcing him to eat more after he tried it is something I practice with my kids so I can relate there also. ❤
At our house my mom called it "creamed beef". She used bacon grease to make the gravy and added the dried beef. She would serve it over toast or fried potatoes.
Btw...love the Outlander shirt.

My mom called it that too! I hated it 😂
I like s.o.s. with ground beef. Also that dried beef is kind of expensive and ground beef makes more. I think it's probably so salty to help preserve it.
Your family is too cute! Dusty and your two older loved the SOS meal and acted as if they were starving. Great job Brooke. Take care.
Look out for the “your family is starving “ comments 😂 stoffers sells this in the frozen section, probably because people loved it so much in the Great Depression! Your toast and gravy looked like the picture on the box! Pic perfect 😁. Loved the guys fighting over it😂
Omg I've never seen them go so crazy over any meals!!! That was awesome!!! Guess your gonna have to make that more often now!!! 😂❤❤
Girl, You soak that beef in warm water and drain it before you eat it. That's how we used it. Then make a milk gravy and add the chopped meat. The guys were so funny.
I was thinking the same thing. You have to rinse the salt out. Only made that mistake once.
I love how they were all hovering around the table, eating as though they couldn’t get enough. You will have to make it for them again. Our Walmart has Armor Dried Beef for less than $4.00 ( still more than hamburger).
I have definitely tried SOS and love it. I would recommend buying Buddig beef in the 2 oz package for $.80 instead of a 2.25 oz jar of dried beef for about $3.86. It's way more cost-effective and tastes great in this recipe.
My favorite is lots of hard boiled eggs sliced in with the chipped beef. Yum!
"Thanks Mommy" melted my heart.
My mom called it ‘Army Beef’, when my dad came home after WW2 he asked her to make it, he was a pastor and there no way he would have shared with her it was called SOS. We don’t eat meat so I make it with a ground beef substitute, my mom often made it with ground beef instead of dried.
My dad was in the army in WW2 and he called it S on a S. He made it for us when my mom was in the hospital so
I grew up eating this! But we opened our biscuits!
I grew up on this. I'm 55 and my mother was the daughter of a WW2 vet, so she learned from her mother. We used ground beef and toast, and that's still how I make it today. Yes, I still make it. I love it. Bonus... you can control your seasoning from scratch.
We always saved the jars to use as fruit juice glasses. The rim is decorated with stars. Most folks I know have at least a couple of them hiding in their cup cabinets. Also, some garnish with parsley, chopped boiled eggs or parmesan cheese. Can cheat with any "cream of" soup, usually mushroom. Onions or at least powder for the haters. Can even serve over mashed potatoes, rice or ribbon pasta, whatever you have on hand. Awesome video and meal! Thanx!!!🤩
We have several in our cabinets and use them for water. My grandparents ts saved all of their beef jars!
Split biscuits open before spooning gravy in them. This is also frugal if made with tomato gravy. Both were used in the depression by my mother's family. My brother would eat the tomato gravy until it was gone. He would use light bread when he ran out of biscuits. Sadly, I am the only one left of my family. All the memories go when I go. And biscuits reign supreme!
I ❤❤❤❤❤❤ tomato gravy😊
Yummy I love tomato gravy and yes homemade biscuits.
I grew up on this in the 60's. Single parent family. Used to be really cheap but dried beef these days is a little more pricey. We called it DB Gravy and almost always had it on toast, sometimes on mashed potatoes. Love it to this day 🙂 All my boys grew up on it too. On a cold night . . .yum . . . gonna have to go make some now! I always kept dried beef in the pantry during the covid in case the world went crazy, we would always have something to eat.
What did the DB stand for???

Stouffers has a creamed chipped beef in the frozen food section. I make a recipe called chicken and chipped beef which is yummy! I grew up in the 60s 70s and 80s and didn't know it at the time, but ate a lot of depression era dishes. My parents were born in 1932. Back then, they dried their own meat. This is a fun series!
I grew up eating this. My mom usually used ground beef or sausage. Sometimes evern bologna or hotdogs. Cheap back then. The gravy was sometimes made with water or water and milk. There was 9 of in the family. Even before me, my mom made gravy with water a lot. We ate it over mashed potatoes or fried potatoes. Even toast or biscuits and sometimes egg noodles.
Love you and your family. Love there reaction to the meal.
This was so funny!! My mom was born in the 30's and was the oldest of 4 kids. She said this was a way of preserving meat and was a treat rather then just the gravy.
My husband's family is from Maryland. Using the jarred, dried beef is creamed chipped beef. I was born in Missouri, but grew up in Texas. We use hamburger and call it SOS. When I make the chipped beef, I rinse the meat because it's really salty to me. For people who don't get the idea of SOS, I just tell them it's a cream gravy with hamburger.
I am laughing so hard! You make them all kinds of awesome food and they fight over SOS! You must be the best cook in the world!! ❤
The way they swarmed for it 😂😂 this was so cute!
Ok, I think this has got to be my FAVORITE of your food videos so far... and I've watched all of them. Not because of the cooking, but because of Dusty and yalls boys going buck wild over the SOS... so Flippin funny and cute!!! Thank you for making my day!!! Dusty is a HOOT!!! 😅
Hi Brooke, Dusty and boys. Thank you so much for posting this video. Brooke, you and Braydon ( hope I spelled your name right ) had the greatest expressions on your faces when you tried the dried beef. I am so pleased the saltiness faded a bit when you cooked it in the gravy. Honestly the reaction of all of them, apart from young Kylen ( again I hope I got the spelling right ) was so good, fighting over the food that was left, even though there was still so much left in the pan. It is such a good feeling when the people you love enjoy the food you prepare for them. Thank you again for sharing this video, and giving me a much needed laugh.
Much love and respect from the South East of England. xxxxx
This is the most American thing I’ve watched on RUclips and I’m HERE FOR IT! I love how much your boys participated, just awesome!
Hi Brooke! Just a little FYI: You can rinse the dried beef under the faucet if it's too salty. Back in the 80s and 90s, Banquet used to make SOS in boil-in-bags. (I sure do miss those things!) We also call it creamed dried beef. We cut it up fine.
Stouffers still make it...and it's good for frozen. "Creamed chipped beef"
I love SOS! My Grandma and Mom always rinsed the dried beef off before we used it. I do as well. Maybe a lot of people don't, but man yeah, it's bad salty if you don't! Love You so much and thank you for all you do for people! 💕💖💕
I edited it to add that it used to be cheap, but now here in Vermont it's generally over $5 a jar. I guess that's not horrible, but not that long ago it was $3 something.
Hello from another Vermonter! 😊
Thank you so much for sharing this. I grew up eating s.o.s. Both of my parents served in Vietnam and my Daddys fav was made ground beef. My Mom loves sausage gravy and my family loves dried beef and all the above. Your family is amazing and thank you for what you do Dusty, thank you so much for your service. My husband is also a vet God bless you.
My dad has told me my whole life about eating this over toast. I’ve never had it but by your family’s reaction to it, I’ll be trying it soon! Thanks for sharing! I’ve heard many stories about the Great Depression from family members and I’m really enjoying your series on the food they ate!
Dusty takes his eating SO SERIOUSLY! I just love it.
I wonder how your life would be different if you had a daughter.
What a great video! I've got to make this dish.
It was so funny to see your family's reaction to this dish! I haven't had SOS since I was a child...NOW I want to try it again! You made me hungry!!!!😊
I’ve been watching your videos for a little while now and I just love you and your family. This video is my favorite. I just laughed all the way through from you trying the beef for the first time and me knowing how salty it was to the guys reactions-priceless ❤😂
Keep the videos coming 😊
Thank you so much!!
Not me over here salivating over the biscuit version. But also the sheer chaos of all the boys eating as fast as they can. I’m cackling. 😂❤❤

HAHAHA Thank you for sharing this Brooke! Your family cracks me up! I love SOS!!!
My dad grew up eating "cream chipped beef on toast" so my mom made it fairly often and ended up teaching me how to make it. We used the Armour brand and saved the jars for glassware. It's a good food memory.
Reading the comments, I think most had some form of this in their life. Passed on by our grandparents to our parents to us. Hamburger, dried beef, roast beef, Buddig sandwich meat. Gravy and whatever they had in the house and put it over whatever was in the house. MEMORIES of love. Gravy something over something....SOS. Good Hearty meals are tummy filling. ❤
I just love your family! Thank you for being so real! ❤
We always rinse the dried beef before we make S.O.S. 😋 It helps with the saltiness!💜
We did too that beef is sooo salty
I grew up in a poor family. There were 10 of us, brothers, sisters and my parents. Mother made dried beef gravy all the time because it was cheap and filling. She always served it on toast. We children loved it! She used half the amount of dried beef that you used.
That was fun! That is a family favorite. Even my son who doesnt like meat asks for it. I use the entire jar and 3/4 a stick of butter so we have more gravy. We prefer over toast. I usually serve it with buttered peas. For a cheaper alternative to the jarred canned beef, you can use a couple packages of Budig beef lunch meat. They sell it at Walmart with the prepacked lunch meat.
Hi! I really like the great depression series. We ate that growing up too. We saved the jars for glasses. 😊 I agree- it is so expensive now. Just an fyi - we always rinsed the dried beef with water to wash off all the excess salt. Enjoying your videos! Have a blessed day!
Child of the 60's here and we had SOS when I was growing up! As a matter of fact, my Mom just made it with tuna a week ago because we hadn't had it for a long time! Normally tho, we make it with dried beef. My MIL was vegetarian, and she made it with asparagus and topped it with hard cooked eggs - SO GOOD!
edit: someone mentioned peas! you MUST have peas! (unless it's the vegetarian version with asparagus)
Hi Brooke , Dusty , and boys
Thank you for sharing this with us. I grew up eating this my grandma use to cook this with the gravy and biscuits she dried her beef in her smoke house along with dried pork and chicken and turkey . Thank you for all your hard work putting these videos together for us and showing us how to make different things with it . Sending lots and lots of hugs , love , blessings and countless prayers for y'all ❤ 🙏

I remember when I was young watching my dad and one of my uncles devour some SOS. It did not look appetizing to me. They had added on top of the toast some fresh asparagus that my great aunt had picked that morning. Now watching your family devour it as well, I might have to give it a try. When you said the actual price of the dried beef, I thought it might be good to make the gravy with just onions (or mushrooms) if there was no meat in the house. This was one of your funniest videos Brooke! Love you and your family!
I can see mushrooms working too. Thank you ❤
This video was so funny! Watching Dusty, Ryder, and Brayden practically fight each other over the food as if they hadn't eaten in days! LOL. First time I've ever seen Kylen not like something you made.
You guys are amazing 😂
My mom made this when I was growing up in the 90s. Not because we were poor but because it was something her and my dad just loved, but we always had it with bologna.
This was just so cute 😊 everyone enjoyed this meal Ryder is to funny 😅 they couldn't stop eating 😂😅
We also ate this on rice and egg noodles. Thanks for your money and time saving tips. Prayers for you and your family 🙏💙🙏.
This is amazing! 😮 During a really bad time in my married life, I made this recipe that I thought I was making up myself!! I’m sure I heard a grandparent talk about it.
Adding to several comments, I make it with 1/2 lb ground beef. It fed our family of 4 easily. Yes, I've used it on cornbread. I grew up eating this. Love this series!!
The reaction from the boys was priceless😂 now you know a hit to make.. but yeah it isn't cheap now to make this.
A few months ago the price was higher at my Walmart, high enough for me to agree I wouldn't put it in my rotation. I just checked now and it's $3 and change for either Armor or Hormel. At half a jar per family meal, that's still a decent budget meal. I may just have to make it. Haven't had it in years. :)
😂 Brooke your face with how salty it was. This video made me laugh so much. We know your family eat well but this video made it look like they were starving. My 19yr old son and I made the Milkorna and had it with honey . We also made the biscuits both were OK. We are going to make the Milkorna apple Betty soon. Love from England 🇬🇧
Am loving your new series. And my Dad made this for our family; his "favorite" meal while serving in the Army during WWII
Omg Brooke I laughed so hard with everyone fighting over the SOS…this was a highly entertaining video!. Love your family. Keep these up they r fun.
I would absolutely love to meet you in person one day. I love you guys, y'all are awesome. I was dying from laughing so much when you tried the dried beef. But then I felt bad for Brayden when he tried it. Then I started laughing again when y'all were trying it. Y'all are so wholesome and warm my heart. Y'all are a joy to watch for sure
Hi Brooke and Dusty and your boys.
My grandma used to make this when I was a little kid and she was a wonderful cook feeding 20 people with the Dried beef it was delicious 😋
Now I can't eat too much salt I'm not allowed to have anything salt in anything.
Thank you for the video Booke
You and your family have a beautiful day 😊
Good on Colin for having a taste. Your older boys and Dusty gave me a laugh! I guess it’s a keeper.❤️🇨🇦
Your family dynamic is precious and always brings a smile to my face! 😊
SOS on toast is one of my favorites from childhood. Mama always made it as a treat. I still love it today! I love biscuits but I prefer this on toast! Thanks for sharing its so fun to see younger people enjoy things like this!
This was so funny. You guys made me laugh. Thank you my favorite family!❤
❤Dusty closes his eyes like it just took him back to his childhood❤
My hubby and I and his 88 year old momma love watching u. Hubby suggests doing meals from the civil war times. I myself have no clue. He's the researcher of everything! Thank you for sharing with us. 🥰
This was a hilarious video, Brooke; the boys going absolutely bananas over the S.O.S. meals! You know that you've done well and have a hit on your hands when they behave like you don't feed them, let alone never even SEEN food before! 😂 Though he didn't like the gravy on toast, I wonder if Kyland (sorry if wrong spelling) would have enjoyed any of the other meals.
Also, great at showing us that you can make filling meals out of few ingredients.
Omg Brooke and family this video is awesome. I loved their reactions to your cooking. My granny would have given their plates quickly and remove the sampler plate. God bless you all
This made my heart happy ! Seeing your family enjoy beef SOS so darn much! ❤

My momma made hamburger SOS when I was growing up and it is still my favorite. We put it on biscuits or toast and usually had fresh 'maters or fresh vegetables with it. The dried beef is a brined meat to last forever, so if you soak it in water to release the salt, it helps. I loved this video, yall were so funny! Thanks Brooke!
You can also use dried beef for cheese balls . I make SOS with hamburger meat too.Thanks for all your tips and keeping the memories of the past ways to feed your family alive . ❤ 😊
my mother would do it with turkey or chicken left overs.
Love studying the great depression trying to learn any of their tips on simpler living. Dried beef is one thing I always have in my pantry. I chop mine up finer than you did. I've never had it on baked potatoes, but will have to try it. I have used the beef with cream cheese and made a dip. I've used ground beef also and it's good. Makes me wonder if this is where sausage gravy came from. Hope y'all don't get the storms we had in West Tennessee yesterday. Love & hugs from your Tennessee sister.
My step-dad grew up very, very poor in the Depression. One of his favorite meals (and mine) was Red Flannel Hash. Leftover beef of any kind, boiled potatoes, cooked beets, onion powder. Grind it all and mix well. Cook with a little oil in a frying pan until crispy on the outside and hot inside. A cast iron pan works best if possible. It is so, so good. Filling and comforting. It's lovely with a big mug of hot tea.
Dusty is adorable in this.
Do you not ever feed those poor starving creatures? Lol. I know you do. I've been watching you a long time. This is my favorite video, I loved watching the guys. I don't think your heart was in it at first, it was sweet to see you enjoy it. So glad you are showing meals from this Era. Brave people we owe a huge debt of gratitude to.
I grew up on this too! I'm 68 and I fixed this for my husband and 2 children. I put it on rice. They loved it! I used the whole jar and tore the pieces apart by hand. Thank you for sharing this for everyone. I have heard you could rinse it off but I never have or did. I just found your channel and love it and your family ❤❤❤😊😊😊 again thank you 😊
This video was PRICELESS!! I grew up with SOS too. But it was made with ground beef and often served over rice. It is very clear that your family LOVED it! Well done, Momma!
You know, I have seen quite a lot of great depression recipes recently and I am starting to think that my family never left the depression. We make many of these recipes on a regular basis as our normal every day diet. We are so screwed if there is another depression.
🧡🧡🧡 My Mom made this and served it over her biscuits. I loved it. Those tiny squares of dried beef from the tiny Armour jars made it seem like the fanciest meal. Then we'd keep the Armour jars for years to come, using them for orange juice with breakfasts. Thanks for the memories!
My Daddy often made it for us, he was in the military and then a firefighter, they ate it often. We had a large family (7 children) and my dad liked it made with dried beef or hamburger. He would soak the beef first in water & drain to remove some of the saltiness of the dried beef. We are it most of the time over toast ( just a loaf of cheap, white, grocery store bread).
