60 minIf you grew up in a military family, you know SOS. This version swaps the traditional white gravy for a savory red tomato sauce that’s just as satisfying and arguably easier to make.
Ground chuck gets browned and drained, then onions and green bell pepper cook down until tender. Garlic goes in for a quick sizzle before tomato sauce, a touch of sugar, and seasoning bring the whole skillet together.
Fifteen minutes of simmering and you’ve got a thick, meaty sauce ready to ladle over toast, split rolls, or English muffins.
It’s the kind of meal that costs next to nothing, feeds the family fast, and somehow always hits the spot.
Kitchen Tips
- Drain the ground chuck well after browning. Excess grease will make the tomato sauce greasy and heavy.
- A small amount of sugar balances the acidity of the tomato sauce without making it sweet.
- Serve over sturdy bread that can soak up the sauce without falling apart. Thick-cut toast or crusty rolls work best.
