Cream Dried Beef aka S.O.S.

By traciesparks

Dried beef in a creamy sauce served over toast, but more commonly known as “S*** on a Shingle” especially in military families. A yummy, salty, warm-your-tummy and fill-you-up sort of meal.

Ingredients

• 1/4 pounds Butter
• 1/2 cups Flour
• 1/4 teaspoons Pepper
• 1 quart Milk
• 1/4 pounds Dried Beef, Cut Into Small Strips
• 1 cup Water
• 10 slices Bread

Preparation

Step 1

Melt butter in the bottom of a deep pot over medium heat. Add flour and pepper to make a paste, stir for a minute or two to cook the flour. Using a whisk, slowly stir in the milk. Add the beef pieces and the water. Cook and stir for 5 minutes until mixture has thickened.
