Country Americana Cooking - SOS

 


Artist Known As:  Chords of Orion





SOS...
although my father called it...
Something On A Shingle...
the first S stands for something else.

The shingle is the underlying bread.

If you were from the country...
or you were in the US military...
you know of this dish.

It is a hearty, quick and easy meal usually made for breakfast.

You simply brown ground beef...
add about 1/4 cup flour per pound of ground beef...
add milk until it shows as in the below pictures...
simmer to reduce the milk about halfway
(Do not allow to boil, as a skin will develop on the milk)...
and then serve over bread with salt, pepper, and ketchup...
with the optional amounts of hot sauce to taste.

























I like the peppery taste of more coarse ground pepper.


I like using sourdough for my bread...
as it is thicker and more filling.



There you have it.

The simmering of the milk takes but 20 - 30 minutes...
so, the whole meal can be ready in about 30 - 40 minutes.


It is a very simple but filling meal.


This is an American country meal enjoyed by millions.

  1. This one is new to me. I am pretty sure that I have never had this before. Looks like you can add whatever seasonings you'd like and it will come out good.

  2. It is a standard in the service. It is so hearty that it satisfies you for half a day.
