Something for the bellie

Anybody who served in the Military has enjoyed (or hated) SOS. Just for the hell of it, here is the recipe. This has been shrunken down from the 100 troop recipe card into a workable formula that my family and I enjoy!

This recipe is for 4 servings.
You will need:

• a large frying pan or Dutch oven.
• 1 pound lean ground beef ( in the field you can use 1 lb. "B" ration beef)
• 1/4 cup finely diced onion ( or equivalent of onion powder)
• 1/2 cup flour
• 3 cups milk (in the field you can use re-constituted dry milk)
• Salt & pepper to taste

Fry the beef until no longer pink. Drain fat.
Add the onion and cook until onion is done, about 3 minutes.
Stir in the flour , salt and pepper. mix well,
and cook until the flour is absorbed. Stir in the milk.
Heat to a simmer, stirring frequently. Cook until thickened.
Serve over toast for classic S.O.S.
You may also serve over potatoes, eggs, Chinese noodles or biscuits.
