Creamed Chipped Beef is the ultimate comfort meal combining dried beef in a smooth cream sauce served over light toasted sourdough or European whole grain.

When I was in the Navy (1986-92) there was a difference from Chipped Beef (this recipe with cream gravy) and SOS which was a ground beef with diced tomato / peppers. The SOS was probably healthier but the Chipped beef would be more filling. Liked them both.

This is a delicious meal, and make it often,u could. Either make from scratch or buy Stouffers in a box, which is really good!
I also made this when my kids were little, they 
Loved it!

We had this all the time growing up, but my mom would hard boils some eggs &amp; then chop them finely and add to it. We also used Buddig corned beef which I can't find in stores around here.

This was my favorite breakfast growing up as a kid.  I can't wait to try out this recipe.

I have never cared for chipped beef on toast. Like Beth said my Catholic upbringing would never have been spelled out for us.  Truth is Chipped Beef is not really SOS.  SOS comes in 2 versions, the Army version and the Navy version.  It originated in WWII and is still served in the military today.  We prefer the Army version because it has the hamburger and creamed gravy served over biscuits or toast.  The Navy serves it's version with hamburger but no biscuits or toast and it has tomatoes included.  It is just served in a bowl.  Both are good and those original recipes are floating around out there somewhere for all to enjoy.  The original use of the letters SOS was a distress signal that meant; 'Save O Save Our Ship' (SOSOS) That ends the history lesson for today, class. hahaha

Me too Larry.  I served on 3 ships from 65 til 69.  Always looked forward to SOS, being hamburger, pork sausage of chipped beef (or horse?].  Never did we have tomatoes mixed in.  Consistent, unlike powdered eggs, bug juice and warm powdered milk.

This is the standard recipe for this wonderful dish. I grew up eating it and so did my children. Sometimes I change it up a bit for dinner by sauteeing chopped onion before adding the chipped beef and making the roux.

I usually add cheddar cheese and a little dry mustard to the sauce. I serve over toasted English muffins and top with a hard boiled egg cut in quarters. A fruit salad and some steamed buttered asparagus makes a very nice brunch.

I've been looking for a new comfort food to try outside of soup! This looks like it will do the trick! Giving this a try tonight!

Wow I have never seen this before looks great! :)

This would do really well for breakfast for me.  I do mind the prep time though.  :0)

It looks really amazing! Can't wait to give it a try!

Wow this looks so delicious and mouth watering. I am a veg but will share it with my friend.

This beef recipe looks so yummy! I need to try it soon.

This lunch idea is so easy and delicious. My family will love it!

This recipe brings back so many memories from my childhood. My grandma used to make this all the time. I can't wait to give your recipe a try.

I haven't made this in years, and my mom made it for the family, too!  We serve it over garlic toast!  DELICIOUS!

Yes, our mother also made this when we were growing up.  Dang tasty and filling, which was the goal when raising 5 kids on a budget.
Folks here are talking about SOAS... yes that was from WW2 but referred to this recipe made with ground beef and served on buttered toast.  My mom called it "Shingle Meat", while this recipe was called Chipped Beef on Toast.
Thanks for sharing!

Oh does this ever bring back childhood memories! My family also added diced green peppers to the butter and flour at the beginning--delicious! Haven't had any years due to the salt content--but I remember it being delicious. Always served ours over toast. Never heard it called SOS, just simply Creamed Chipped Beef!

It was so funny to see this on the computer today because I actually made this last night and will be having it again tonight.  I grew up with this as it was definitely a family favorite.  As others have said the SOS has traditionally been hamburger in the cream sauce instead of the chipped beef.  We ate both.  My dad was a cook during  WWI and that was when he started making it.  Another thing he used to do and not only when times were tough, but he used salt pork to make the gravy and served it over mashed potatoes.  This was called slop. Definitely not something to eat now!  I've always made this dish by melting the butter, tossing in the dried beef, getting it nicely coated and then adding the flour, mix it up so the meat is coated and after a few minutes add the milk.  One addition I make to this is to add peas.  So yummy.

I retired after 4 years spent at West Point plus 30 more in the Army. People used to joke about SOS but I love it, especially over biscuits or a couple of fried eggs with a generous sprinkling of black pepper. I crave this even now. I prefer the beef but an alternative is to crumble some patty sausage into the "white sauce". Mild or medium smoked sausage is my preference with Jimmy Dean being my "go to" brand, I wouldn't think the maple flavored would go well with this. Thanks for posting the recipe. Just looking at the pictures has me drooling for some SOS over hot buttermilk biscuits.

At my dad's request, my mom tried to replicate what he described to her as SOS.  She used Carl Buddig dried beef, milk, butter, flour and pepper.  However, she added just a tiny bit of garlic powder and velveeta.  Haven't
thought about this in years. will be making soon.

Shit On A Shingle is the ultimate comfort meal that’s fast and inexpensive. Also called SOS, it’s a classic American military dish made with creamed chipped beef, and served over toast. This is a healthier version with lighter creamy white sauce. This recipe makes enough for 1 person for lunch or light dinner.

Chipped Beef Cheese Ball

Creamed Chipped Beef, also known as S.O.S, consists of a creamy white gravy full of chopped dried beef served on toast. It can be made in just minutes for an easy breakfast and it is pure comfort food.

beef

all-purpose flour

nutmeg.

Soak dried beef in hot water for 10 minutes. Drain and chop into medium to small pieces.

Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add beef to butter and saute 2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Whisk in flour to form a roux. Cook for 1 minute.

Gradually whisk in milk. Increase heat and bring to a simmer.&nbsp;

Add beef and pepper and simmer for a few minutes to thicken. Serve with toast.

Creamy gravy made with a flour roux mixed with salty dried beef makes this delicious Creamed Chipped Beef Gravy.

Creamed Chipped Beef Recipe (SOS Gravy)

½ cup stick butter ((8 tablespoons or 1/2 cup))

water ((or more milk))

pepper

Chop the dried beef in a blender or food processor, or slice it with a knife if you prefer larger ribbons or chunks.

Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring with a whisk so that it melts evenly and doesn&#39;t scorch.

Slowly add in flour while whisking to combine and remove any lumps.  Cook the mixture for 2 to 3 minutes, whisking occasionally, to remove the raw flour taste and build a roux.

Gradually pour in the milk while whisking to incorporate.

Then, gradually add in the water or additional milk, whisking to incorporate.

Pour in the chipped beef, stirring to combine.

Season with pepper and taste.  Add in additional pepper or salt if needed. The dried beef and butter have plenty of sodium, so I do not usually add any salt. You can use unsalted butter if you are watching your sodium intake. Some readers say they wash their dried beef to remove some of the salt, but I have not ever done that.

Nikki, this gravy is spot-on.  Been making with butter/flour ratio for years but never measured the milk (until now).  Measured 3 cups and sure enough, had to us 1/2 cup more to make it "look right".  This gravy was the only way to resurrect the watery, unsalted grits the Navy served.  Thank you Nikki, we southerners love our gravy.

Comes out perfectly every time, very good recipe

Boy, this takes me back.  I'm crazy for biscuits so I went that way.  It was delicious.

I like this. But my southern wife is curious why no hard boiled eggs?

This is the real deal, folks. A Google search for chipped beef gravy brought me here, and I was lucky it did. I made this exactly as written. The beef 'chipped' up nicely in my small food processor and the rest was a breeze to make. Honestly, I didn't have high hopes for this gravy going from the memories of my youth, but it turned out so delicious that I'll be making it many times over in the future. How could it not using a stick of butter? 'A little bit of 'heaven on a shingle'? You be the judge of that.
Thank you very much for your time and effort in helping folks like me look so good in the kitchen, Nikki. Greetings from SW Colorado!

If you're looking for a great, inexpensive and quick meal -- this is it, in my opinion.  This recipe is fantastic.

Love taste, but WILL NOT put them in ninja again! The texture was just wrong! lol

Kids thought this was a really good recipe. The only difference we added was one can of condensed milk.
