Personal Notes:
This easy-to-make dish comes from Depression cooking, where a little meat could be stretched to feed & fill up a lot of people, and from the United States military, for the same reason.

If you prefer the Chipped Beef version, cut the dry beef into small pieces. Make a roux from butter, flour, and milk, then add the chipped beef pieces after it thickens.

For those who weren't in the military, the SOS stands for "S--- On a Shingle" OR "Same Old S---." Bet you can figure it out!
