By Thom7747

Remember SOS? Of course you do! We've all eaten this culinary delight, and some, like me, even developed a taste for it. Depending upon who prepared it, SOS could be pretty good, especially if you were starving. Here is an official U.S. Army recipe for SOS.

Ingredients

• 1/2 lb. ground beef
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1/4 tsp. pepper
• 4 tbsp. sifted flour
• 1 cup evaporated milk
• 1 cup water
• 2 tbsp. butter

2. Season with salt and pepper.

To make roux, place 2 tbsp. reserved fat in double broiler or heavy pan.
1. Slowly add sifted flour, stirring constantly over low heat until thoroughly blended.
2. Cook for five minutes. Do not brown.

Combine milk and water.
1. Add butter and scald (not burn) in double broiler or heavy pan.
2. Add roux to scalded milk, stirring constantly until thoroughly blended.

Add meat mixture and cook about 10 minutes, or until desired consistency.

Serve on toast.
