This recipe was delicious over egg noodles and would be great over mashed potatos or rice. I added sauted celery & mushroom pieces and nxt time i might even add diced jalepeno to spice it up! Endless possibilties with this and VERY cheap, easy & quick. A++++++++

Ah good ole SOS. I remember having this as a kid. A few days ago I was trying to figure out what to do with a package of hamburger so I came here and did a search and ran across this recipe. I hadn't thought about SOS in DECADES. Made it for supper and 4/5 recommended having it again. Guess that's a good sign. The other one is a fussy eater and said...mom you don't put "whatchamacallit" sauce in GRAVY. Never should have let him see the bottle on the counter. Oh the joys of mothering a teenage picky eater!

My mother made this for me when I was young. The only difference is that she omitted the bouillon and the worcestershire sauce. I make it now for my own children. I like to have this for breakfast on toast.

Made this tonight and just added garlic and onion powder and it came out excellent! Served it over toast and/or mashed potatoes and the family ate it up! I will sure be making this one again!

While I liked that this was quick and simple to make, and that I also had all the ingrediants on hand, I didn't particularly care for the taste. It had a very floury taste to me, maybe part of the issue was that I used 97% lean ground beef so there wasn't enough fat the make a good roux, but I'm not sure. I did add tons of pepper, garlic and onion powders, ground mustard and some chili powder, but it wasn't enough to mask the flour. I'm glad that I tried this recipe, but I won't be making it again, sorry.

I add sauteed mushrooms and onions to this and serve it over noodles. My husband loves it and he's picky sometimes. It has great flavor.

This is great for a quick mid week meal when you are in a rush. I also added sliced onions and a crushed garlic clove.

I loved this recipe, instead of beef bullion I used a package of brown gravy! *YUM* It is a fast, easy, awesome recipe and my two year old even ate it!

This is a great recipe. My Mom always made it when I was a kid and all she could remember about it was that my Dad ate it in the Army. I added onion when browning my ground beef. Adds great flavor. It's good over noodles or rice.

This dish is ment for breakfast and yes, typically served in the military in years past. Serve over toast or buscuits. I like to top mine with a fried egg.

This was decent. I added lots of pepper and cooked the beef with onion and garlic to give it some more flavor. I'll probably make it again just because it uses ingredients I almost always have on hand, but it's not one of my favorites.

This dish was so easy and very tasty. The second time I seasoned the ground beef alittle more and it was alsome, this one is a keeper.

I have never cared for the taste of plain, unseasoned ground beef, so I liberally seasoned the browning beef with garlic powder, Lawry's season salt and pepper. I also added a half an onion, diced, to the beef. I really didn't measure the Worchestershire sauce, just let some bobble on out of the bottle, but I'm sure it was more than 1/4 teaspoon. I also added a cup of frozen peas with the milk. I served this over refrigerated jumbo whomp biscuits from a cardboard can. Very comforting and good. Will definitely make again.

Good but a little bland for my taste. My husband liked it. On the advice of other reviewers I added 3 cloves garlic and one onion when browning the beef. I also doubled the Worcestershire sauce. Still bland. I would suggest adding additional spices.

This is a great quick meal. I add chopped onion with the ground beef and serve it over buttered toast. It doesn't look so appealing, my 5 year old son said yuck. But I told him it's what the soldiers eat, so he took a bite and really liked it!
