"Stew On a Shingle", "SOS", or is it "Something On a Shingle"?

This meal is "one for the boys" in more ways than one. It's got meat, carbohydrates, and gravy, everything a man likes...well almost everything. On the other side it's what they used to feed the boys in the US Military. It's known as  "Shit On a Shingle" (SOS)—or, "Stew On a Shingle", "Same Old Stuff", "Something On a Shingle", or occasionally "Save Our Stomachs"...the last one i imagine it came around from the fact that originally they used chipped beef with gravy over toast, but I prefer ground beef.  The term "shit on a shingle" was used mainly world wide by US Army troops and everyone else that helped.

It also states that "Stew on a Single" (we'll use that one for the ones who don't like to swear) is made by more than half the US in the days after Thanksgiving. I don't know about that but it's good supportive facts that i can use in getting you to try it. It's really good, might even be up there on the list of BEST COMFORT FOODS EVER!

So let's start the SOS's...

Ingredients

The Meat:

1lb Ground Beef
Salt & Black Pepper to taste
1/4 - 1/2 Onion chopped up
2 Cloves Garlic

Direction:

Cook all ingredients together in a pot or skillet with high sides. until meat is finished. Set aside if you need to but you can make the white gravy while the meat cooks. 


The White Gravy 

1/2 cup flour. 
1tsp salt
1 tbsp black pepper
2 cups milk
1 stick butter

Directions

In a medium sized sauce pan on low heat melt butter, then add flour, salt black pepper whisk quickly and have milk on hand because it will thicken quickly. Pour in milk and keep whisking. if you want a little thinner gravy add more milk, if you put in too much and its watery just keep simmering and stirring on low heat.

White Gravy should look like this after its finished. At this stage pour in with ground beef and mix well, Spoon over Toast bread (hamburger bread works really good for this, and grate your choice of cheese. Can be served with mashed potatoes/ french friesor sweet potato fries 

Mix gravy and beef good. 

HAPPY EATING! And do enjoy this meal... i know I will.
