    Two years later after you made this video I "tripped" over this video. My parents survived the Korean War and they told me about the G.I. issue rations they would eat to survive during those terrible years (1950-1953). My dad served in the miniscule ROK air force and they didn't eat well but he remembered fondly getting served at a USAAF ration line and got SOS! Years later he badgered my mom to make it and I remember her using the Armour dried beef all the while cursing in Korean. But oh how he enjoyed it. Both my parents have passed but watching this video brought back some great memories of my childhood. I miss my parents dearly and now i have to go make some SOS in their honor. Thank you kind sir for all your cowboy knowledge and culinary wisdom.

    Love me some SOS Kent. I'm an old retired U.S. Coast Guard cook and have made enough SOS over the years to fill up the red river over it's banks. The hardest part was keeping it in the pot during all the rocking and rolling, pitching and slamming on the high seas. You didn't miss a thing during your escapade in culinary wizardry. Top it off with a few fried eggs and some hash browns and you'll need a nap after you eat. I tip my hat to you, Shannon, and the hounds. I love your channel and have a lot to catch up on. I have just got back into cast iron cooking and your videos have been invaluable. God bless you and yours!

My father a WW2 vet started hollering S@@@ on a shingle. My poor mother was mortified. She never heard of such a thing, much less something to eat. She asked everyone in the neighborhood if they knew what it was. Everyone heard of it but no one knew how to make it. Needless to say, I have not eaten it 49 years. Thanks to you I will try this

Do you add the chipped beef in last and make a roux just from onions & milk? Yes, even at our tender age he called it Shit on a Shingle. He didn't cuss either!! I miss my dad!

      After reading some of the comments, I have to wonder if my mom learned how to make this from my Papaw (her dad). He served in WW2 as a cook. After he'd enlisted, he started cooking for his fellow soldiers. He was so good, they wanted him to do this permanently. My mom said this was the reason my Papaw survived WW2; he was never in combat because they didn't want to lose their cook! Lol 🤠

He ran a few restaurants, and in the 70's owned a small Diner in Lawton, OK, (Butler's Cafe) not far from the main gate of Fort Sill, OK. As much complaining Soldiers/Marines/Navy/ Air Force & Coast Guard personnel made about having to eat S.O.S. while in the service, he sold out of 5 gallons of S.O.S. every single day he was open. Again thank you, Smedley D. Butler

Toss in the cut up whites from hard boiled eggs (cut into little pieces) and when heated through, serve on toast, with the yolks sieved on top. I think she scraped a little nutmeg and black pepper into the gravy, too. When I make it, sometimes I put a bit of frozen corn kernels for texture but her was always the best!

It was part of a military museum and the menu fit the theme with several classics, including an S.O.S. platter. I laughed as I remember my grandpa telling me about his service during the Korean War and the name soldiers had for the chipped beef often served. I enjoyed that lunch and am now looking forward to making a batch at home when I feel nostalgic. Thanks Kent!

    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 cana 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 pre- vent 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.

    Kent, I didn’t get SOS till I got to the Army mess hall in Germany. Mom didn’t serve it. Those Army cooks did a good job with it though. Thank you for this show/demonstration. It looked mighty fine. We always and only had plain, white bread toast. I bet it wasn’t near as good as that big, thick, beautiful piece of perfectly seasoned and toasted garlic, buttered toast, covered with the finest blend of prime Angus beef, fat, onion, pepper, and cream. Have mercy...Hmmm. I retired with 28 years from the Army back in 2006. Thanks for honoring the military folks and the flag. Texas

    One of my favorite foods. I like mine over thick bisquits. Add a couple of fried eggs with cheese sprinkled on top, fried bacon with hash browns, coffee and a slice of apple pie. Heavenly.

    My dad used to make SOS when I was growing up. I still make it to this day. Good stuff on a chill winter's morn.

    Kent, I appreciate all of your videos. As an old Army Vet, I loved chipped beef gravy (S.O.S) back then. I haven't been able to find a good recipe until I saw yours. I have a Grandson in the Marines and he has never heard of it, let alone tried it. Keep up the good works and God Bless you and yours.

    I remember eating sos as a child. It was one of the first things I learned to cook at eight years old. Love the video. As always lots of blessings and love to both of you and your family.

    God Bless my dad, it's the only thing he knew how to make. Wish I had some now. Thanks for turning on the good, old memories. #SosShuffle

    It was a sad day at the chow hall when the cooks substituted hamburger for chip beef! I enjoyed drowning my potatoes with the gravy, top it with two eggs, followed with a bunch of bacon. So good!

    One of my favorite Kent Rollins videos, and you betcha I would vote for common sense and America that we desperately need today. Kent would totally be somebody that the entire country can get behind.
