Chipped Beef S.O.S. Creamed chipped beef & Toast (S. S.) is a recipe originating in our nation's military. It became popular outside the military as those who had served craved the dish once home.
Dried beef is traditional, but hamburger or sausage are options. S. stands for "Chipped Beef" (…except the word is actually Shit) on a Shingle. Chipped beef is a form of pressed, salted and dried beef that has been sliced into thin pieces. You can cook Chipped Beef S.O.S using 6 ingredients and 6 steps. Here is how you achieve that.

Some makers smoke the dried beef for more flavor. The modern product consists of small, thin, flexible leaves of partially dried beef, generally sold compressed together in jars or flat in plastic packets.

My mom and dad made it for us often while we were growing up and it has always been one of my very favorite breakfasts. Chop your chipped beef roughly and set it aside. If you are sensitive to salt, rinse the beef. Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook the roux for a minute.
