Directions
U. S. Navy Minced Beef Gravy on Toast,I am not too sure on the Navy part as I found this on another site and I have no Navy experience, but it is said that that this is served over toast at breakfast and it is also great on hot dogs.,I don’t recall S.O.S. having any vegetable or vegetable juice in it. It’s pretty much dried beef, milk, fat, pepper, flour and bread. I included a pic from the 1944 Cook Book of the United States Navy,I can’t wait to try this! I’m a Navy brat and ate this ALL the time as a kid. My dad always made it based off of what the cooks on his ship told him and never wrote down the recipe. Sometime after he passed away I started trying to find a recipe for his famous S.O.S. This looks really close except he never used sugar or nutmeg in his from what I remember.
