My mom would make this some Saturday nights. Damn, I didn't know we were poor and my mom was trying to feed her four kids. I'm now sixty but still make this at least once, maybe twice a year because it was so good. On toast gotta have it on toast. It's a good and filling meal. Now when I make SOS or nicely called creamed chipped beef I add frozen peas as a vegetable even though it's a starchy vegetable. Don't forget the black pepper. In 2019 the packaged Buddig beef which is found in the cold cuts section of the grocery store is still less than one dollar. It will fill your belly. Thanks for the video!!
May 2023. Just got two packs at Walmart for $.80 each. That's even after the inflation that has raised the prices of many things by double. But I don't make this because it's cheap, it's just darn good !!!
This was a staple part of breakfast every Sunday when I was a kid. My mom liked it, so did my dad(Navy vet) and I grew to enjoy it as well. Very popular in my area(Southeast PA), you can't run a restaurant or diner around here and not have it on your breakfast menu. The stuff(air-dried beef, the beef is cured but not cooked until YOU cook it) we used to buy came in glass jars and was unbelievably salty. Once you sliced it up, you'd put it in a strainer and pour hot water over it to remove some of the salt. It was then sautéed in butter, some people called it FRIZZLED beef at that point. Then the roux was made, milk added and cooked until it was as thick as you wanted it to be. Seasoned simply with plenty of black pepper, and served over whatever you preferred: toast; rice; mashed, hash brown, homefried or french fried potatoes(I like mine over potatoes with 2 easy over eggs on top) If you were lucky enough to have any leftovers, it made a great sandwich in a hotdog or hamburger bun. I fondly remember a variation of this from when I was in the service, it was made with ground beef(as has been noted above) and it was great. SOS is a terrific, economical, nostalgic comfort food.
Hello from PR, i am Carlos i was in the Army many yrs ago -1981-84-, and in those days they use to serve Creme Beef (crema de carne) Ft Hood Tx , and i always wanted to learn how to cook it since we dont eat here in PR, i found these recipe and now i cook it at least twice a week thank you thank u its a dream come true to learn how to cook this delicious meal after all these yrs
YOUR THE ONLY RECEIPE I'VE SEEN WITH BUDDIG SLICED BEEF. MY MOM USED TO USE THE BUDDIG MEAT WHEN I WAS A KID. WE LOVED IT !! SHE ALSO SOMETIMES WOULD USE HARD BOILED EGGS IN THE GRAVY SAUCE CUT UP. THAT WAY WAS ALSO REALLY GOOD. I'M IN ILLINOIS. LOVED WATCHING YOUR WAY OF MAKING THIS DISH FROM MY CHILDHOOD.
My mother use the same stuff I’ve seen it in a jar but it doesn’t look appetizing at all but when I tell people that she use the package should be if nobody has any idea what I’m talking about I was so glad to actually see the name of the product and somebody using it
A WHOLE STICK OF BUTTER??? That's REALLY indulgent! I used to make this with about 25% the amount of butter. Still, thank you for making this video. My mom used to make this all the time for us when we were kids, and I LOVED it! Never seen it with the bread already cut-up like that. Looks good, though! We need this out West!👍🏽
From Ohio my mom made creamed beef over toast. Live in Texas now, my wife makes sausage gravy over biscuits (I prefer toast but whatever). For me either one is eating good. Buddig isn't bad for processed foods. Their ham is pretty good also.
Using prepackaged Country Gravy mix with a package of Buddig beef makes for a very inexpensive and lightweight Camping meal that can be eaten with Toasted bread or even Idahoan mashed potatoes.
a whole stick of butter sounds like a lot but this isn't sausage gravy, the beef is very lean so 1/2 cup of butter for 2 cups of milk isn't a bad ratio. if you were making the same thing with a pound of sausage you would still add half a stick of butter along with the sausage anyway.
Ah yes... the ol jail house favorite! (Don't ask me how I know) Throw in some scrambled eggs and you'd be all set! Biscuits and sausage gravy is one of my favorites and I wouldn't turn my nose up at a hot turkey sandwich with mashed potatoes and turkey gravy, either!
Grew up on the goodness, still make it for my family, the kiddos love it too! Try browning the meat first, it really kicks it up a notch. Have you ever heard of milk macaroni? Boil noodles, drain, then add milk, butter, salt and pepper, cheese is optional. How about fried macaroni? After boiling, place noodles in frying pan with butter and deli sliced American cheese, brown it up a bit, delish. These are old school Central PA recipes from way back.
I was born and raised in PA and as a child my mother would make us mac and milk..same thing..cooked macaroni with salt and butter and milk..dont like the pepper. I am almost 60 now and i made this for my kids and we still love it. Tasty and very filling..it might be a PA thing! 😏
After six years in Europe in the army my father being a cook in WW2 shared the fact that SOS was whatever you had left in meat from another meal but mostly made from ground beef or what was available at the time!
Love that you are using a heart shaped pot for a not heart healthy meal =P but I am sure it is delicious. Armour beef in the little glass jars is what I am used to using. My self is using Budding brand these days.
Born in Baltimore but spent most of my childhood in Denver. Love the Balmer accent hon! How bout them O’s? My dad made it exactly the same way as do I. Funny, Ive been in TN since 2006.
We grew up eating this - we called it Dried Beef Gravy. There was actually a beef loaf in the deli of the grocery called dried beef. We'd get 1/4 lb of it, chipped and make the gravy. I always liked mine over plain bread. Some liked toast and my hubby likes his over mashed potatoes. Good stuff! Made a little different but yeah - the result is the best! Edited to add - dried beef in our local grocer's deli? $9.99 a lb.
Well you gotta consider the dried beef lost 60% ish of its weight being dried. Knowing that, its not really more expensive. Since the non-dried one has water as weight. Its like buying beef jerky, you cant just directly compare the prices to fresh meat. Dried beef is going to be more beefy flavor. But for this dish, I don't think it really matters, far as taste.
Looks good! I never thought of using the Buddig beef. I'll give it a try. You can also use hamburger and just make it like sausage gravy is another version.
HAMBURGERRRRRRR- I got that in the US Army. It was always hamburger patties the night Before and left over hamburger the next morning . Yep, we called it SOS. Ka-Ka on shingles. Sooooooo yummy especially in the winter time in the Deep South ( Georgia ) Thanks for the tip .im going out today and stock up on the beef. Can’t wait
While I appreciate your budget friendly recipes, butter is expensive and whole stick butter is way too much, only need 2-3 tablespoons to make a white sauce.
If you would add the beef to the butter, then when you added the flour it would be easier to mix in and you wouldnt need as much butter. I use a full stick like that for a half a gallon of gravy to feed my family of six. Its cheaper if you use half a stick ;)
Chipped Beef on Toast is not "SOS" . . . SOS is made with Ground Beef . . .

All these years I've never seen someone cut their toast but that is such a good idea
I've always seen this served on cut toast halves. Makes it easier to eat, or less messy at least.

This is the 1st time EVER that I saw anyone cube up the "Shingle" before spooning on the "S#!t"... GREAT idea! Doing that the next time I make mine. 😊
As a child I ate this all the time but never knew how to make it! Thanks for the video!!!!
There are two types of SOS, this is the Navy version. The Army version is hamberger gravy, which is actually pretty good as well.
This is neither version. I’ve never seen anyone use beef that wasn’t dried.

I'd sure love to visit Puerto Rico one day. Looks like a beautiful country.
@@bayanon7532 hello it sure is tropical weather all yr round....you are welcome to visit any time
Grew up eating this during the recession in the early 80s in farm country.

Don't forget sandwiches, I grew up too with Buddig😁😃
They have several kinds of meats...
Stoffers makes one for freezer, in boil pouch...
My mother use the same stuff I’ve seen it in a jar but it doesn’t look appetizing at all but when I tell people that she use the package should be if nobody has any idea what I’m talking about I was so glad to actually see the name of the product and somebody using it

Im a 7th gen texan i perfer mine on toast both sausage and chipped beef , biscuits i do camping and on special occasions
@@Bucky1836 It's always a treat to have it, mainly on the weekends. I have three grandaughters, 4-8, that just love what grandma makes.
YEAH BUDDY!!! Love from Texas
Thank you, I love this video! I moved from Maryland where I lived for 50yrs, to Atlanta. I can't find Creamed Chipped Beef anywhere down here!
It's the easiest thing in the world to make.
My mom used to make chipped beef with the Budding also, was very good.
Using prepackaged Country Gravy mix with a package of Buddig beef makes for a very inexpensive and lightweight Camping meal that can be eaten with Toasted bread or even Idahoan mashed potatoes.
love this stuff
Neither my mom nor my dad liked SOS but I guess I ate it somewhere because I like it! It's a comfort food.

I'll have to try it with Buddig since it's way cheaper than the Hormel stuff.
i always used Buddig, $2 for 4 pks
as im sure you know by now, it works just fine ;).
Nooooo! This is your most recent video and it's from TEN years ago?!? I would *love* to see more in these days we find ourselves...
I've stumbled across a couple of cooking channels for cheap meals on UA-cam. Just do some searching.
I make that but sometimes i put it over biscuits. I also make hamburger gravy and that over mashed potatoes.

Finally, someone knows the difference between sos and ground beef gravy.
😂😅😃😄😀😀😁😂😃😄😅
Ground beef gravy on toast is the true SOS. In military dining halls, yesterday's meatloaf will be the start of today's SOS.
After six years in Europe in the army my father being a cook in WW2 shared the fact that SOS was whatever you had left in meat from another meal but mostly made from ground beef or what was available at the time!
Young military guys would call anything SOS (without the initials). They just like to say it.
Love that you are using a heart shaped pot for a not heart healthy meal =P but I am sure it is delicious. Armour beef in the little glass jars is what I am used to using. My self is using Budding brand these days.
oh the memories
Born in Baltimore but spent most of my childhood in Denver. Love the Balmer accent hon! How bout them O’s? My dad made it exactly the same way as do I. Funny, Ive been in TN since 2006.
I make it the same way. Same beef product too.
Use the corn beef it is good, chicken meat, beef, all makes good gravy😃 Buddig makes all 3.
Could you imagine imitation crab for something different. Making sos tonight.😋
My husband says it's better than the one from his childhood 😊 Just add salt and pepper to taste!

They've got in a jar in the can tuna area
Take it from me your wife is going to holler at you for leaving their plasticware inside a hot pan. I know trust me,boy do I know. LOL
Some good eats right there!
OMG you CUT the toast up. Noooooooo! 😜
SOS came from biscuits and gravy.
Looks good! I never thought of using the Buddig beef. I'll give it a try. You can also use hamburger and just make it like sausage gravy is another version.

Oh yes grew up with buddig, Good stuff
WOW I'm using Carl Buddig next time ! LOVE THIS !
I add onions to the butter before flour ...or chives .
Great video. Friendly wave from a Gambrills neighbor!
We ate a lot of this in the Navy.
After watching your video I made this and it was delicious!
Is that beef the same as the dried beef…..
I’m going to have to try this.
Interesting, I use Armour dried beef. Looks delicious though.
Damn a whole stick of butter!
The army served the toast whole.
They made just like mom did. She was feeding 5 kids and I was surprised at how much was in the mess hall when i got there.
Add 2 dashes of worchestshire sauce for more flavor.
We just leave the bread whole and cut it with our fork whole we eat it.
2022 back flips
.60 for each pack of beef ?
I need to shop where you do!!
More like $3.00 a pack.
Yall gotta try it on pancakes, its fire!
Sounded terrible for a second, but the more I thought about it, the better it got. I'll try that.
I like Carl buddig beef on sandwiches
Much better over mashed potatoes though.
A lot longer to make when you have to get the family out the door in the morning.
It's too bad we cant get govt commodity butter any more
Armour chipped beef
Better soak that its salty as hell.
YUM
While I appreciate your budget friendly recipes, butter is expensive and whole stick butter is way too much, only need 2-3 tablespoons to make a white sauce.
Sneak in some lard or saved bacon grease. Any fat will work. But then, who can afford bacon in this inflation. Remember that when you vote ....
YUMM
If you would add the beef to the butter, then when you added the flour it would be easier to mix in and you wouldnt need as much butter. I use a full stick like that for a half a gallon of gravy to feed my family of six. Its cheaper if you use half a stick ;)
either way youve got a new sub lol.
Add a can of peas...

Very nice. Delicious. I from Maryland as well but now in texas. Your right in the south they don't eat chipped beef it's sausage gravy.
Well, La-Di-Dah! Rich folk huh? LOL
i did my research SOS also stands for Save our Souls
Carlos Colon It's Shit on a Shingle in this case. It's military slang for chipped beef on toast👍
Get to church
Looks nasty. I. Like the simple theory tho so who's cooking lol
Y'all do know that Maryland is The South right? When did people stop reading books? Shame shame...
That’s how I make mine
But I do toast my bread
