To anyone who has ever served in the U.S. Army during the 1980's, you know what the acronym S.O.S stands for. So, I will not explain the definition here in potentially mixed company.
I am looking for a recipe recreating as closely as possible the classic, U.S. Army breakfast favorite that was ladled over toasted, sliced bread.
Not merely a hamburger gravy, but it was something more. Very rich, definitely NOT low fat, sort of brown instead of white in color, kind of salty and maybe even flavored with beef buillion.
I know.
Very plebe.
But God, that stuff was wonderful when ladled over two pieces of toast along with a two-egg omelette on the side with shredded cheddar cheese, diced ham, tomato and onion!
If anyone can help me bring back one of the few pleasant memories of Army service, I would be so very grateful.
Regards,
David
