This is the original SOS that fed generations of soldiers and became a staple in diners and family kitchens across America.

Ground chuck gets browned, then simmers in a generous amount of milk thickened with a flour-water paste into a thick, creamy white gravy. Heavy on the black pepper, light on the fuss.

Ladle it over toast, split muffins, or even waffles if you’re feeling a little wild. It’s stick-to-your-ribs food that costs pennies and feeds a crowd.

Five ingredients. Twenty-five minutes. Pure no-nonsense comfort.

Kitchen Tips

  • Mix the flour with cold water into a smooth paste before adding it to the hot milk. Dumping flour directly into the skillet creates lumps that won’t cook out.
  • Add the flour paste slowly, stirring constantly, and let the gravy come to a gentle bubble. It thickens as it heats.
  • Be generous with the black pepper. SOS is supposed to be peppery. That’s where most of the flavor comes from in this simple dish.
