  Creamed chipped beef is a recipe originating in our nation’s military. It became popular outside the military as those who had served craved the dish once home. Although not all former servicemen remembered it with fondness considering how much they had to eat the very economical meal. It could have been as much as 3 times a day for those away on ships having to ration food.

  Officially called creamed chipped beef, it is also more commonly referred to as S.O.S. and remains a popular dish today.

• 4 Tablespoons Butter,
• 1/3 Cup Flour (all purpose),
