HAMBURGER, SAUSAGE,(ARMY SOS) CREAM SAUCE OVER TOAST ASHTON STYLE #178

When I was in the army one of the best meals we would have believe it or not was SOS.  It was made with hamburger, sausage, or dried beef.  It was cooked in large pans which you added flour, cream, sometimes minced onions, salt and pepper. It was one meal you could have for breakfast, lunch or dinner. I can't remember anyone complaining about this meal though we used to kid each other about eating it. The recipe that follows is a variation of the recipe that we ate in the army and I hope if you were in the army, marines, navy even the coastguard, it should bring back memories of times past.
