"My dad was in the Marine Corps and remembers eating this dish often. It's a simple recipe consisting of ground beef mixed with milk, margarine and beef broth. It's also good using ground sausage. Serve this dish over toast."

Make this way for great results: 1 pound very lean ground beef 1/4 cup softened butter 1/2 cup flour 2 tsp. instant beef bouillon granules salt to (to your taste) ground pepper (to your taste) REMEMBER: at this point to stir all above until flour is absorbed, only then can you add the milk and Worcestershire sauce in these amounts: 4 cups milk 1/2 tsp. Worcestershire (optional) Serve on biscuits or toast and sprinkle real bacon bits on top if desired

My husband grew up eating this dish so I decided to try it out. This recipe was DELICIOUS!!! The evaporated milk and beef broth is the key to this recipe. The only addition I made was to add freshly ground mild country sausage. I did double the white sauce to have more "gravy" than meat. My husband stated the addition of fresh sausage really added MORE savory flavor than what his mom used to make it. The family even had 2nd helpings! I may try using texas toast or english muffins next time.

I ate a small mountain of SOS in various mess halls. This recipe isn't bad but its not authentic USMC SOS. I added diced onion, garlic powder, worchester sauce and a dash of hot sauce. That is the taste I remember! SOS is normally served over toast but is best served over biscuits. Try it the authentic way, thousands of US service men have eaten it that way.

I've been looking for a way to stretch the dinner dollars when I found this recipe. My family of three loved it, and would have eaten more, so next time I won't cut the recipe back. I did add a small amount of sausage to the ground beef, and I happened to have some bacon grease left over(I always save it, refrigerate it, and use it often, instead of other forms of fat). I used it instead of the butter. Small changes, and the whole dish can be made for UNDER A DOLLAR A SERVING.

This recipe was soooo very bland. It's good to get you started but it definitely needed work. I added diced onion while browning the meat then seasoned it with garlic powder and a little seasoning salt. I also added in worcestershire & soy sauce to the roux mixture and then it was very good.

This was the best S.O.S. I've ever had. I had it in the joint for the 3 years I was in, but it never tasted so good.

I thought this was much much better than the Army SOS on this site. I love this, it is the best comfort food out there. I have always heard that SOS was awful but I would definatley eat this every week!!
