Old gunny (Vietnam) here, and I feel the same way. SOS (hamburger, nor chipped beef like those "*****" in the other services use ) plus greasy hash browns and hot biscuits - the Breakfast of Champions! Semper fi, indeed, to all of my brothers and sisters in the Corps!

In military back in the day.. Leftover sos, we would add Worcester sauce and sour cream. Put it on egg noodles and called it beef stroganoff. Nothing went to waste

Another old Marine here, when I was younger in the late 50s through the1970s my father was in the USNavy. He made two versions of SOS, 😊 one like this one and ne using chipped beef with a tomato sauce and garlic powder and onions, We had for breakfast. Then I joined the USMC and learned a 3rd way with pork, that was also very good

My dad was a cook in the Army. He made it a lot when I was growing up. He’d serve it over toast. I loved it 🥰

My mother made a version of this and I've failed many times trying on my own. Watched this video and got it right the first time this morning. God bless The Hillbilly Kitchen

Hi! I know this is an older video, but I just want to say how much I love you and how you present your content. Pure wholesome…. topped off with a Verse. Nothing can beat you. My mom died and left my 87yr old father alone for the first time in his life. In the 1960’s, he served our country in the USAF, with tremendous pride. I grew up with my mom making SOS because my father loved it so much throughout his service days. Well, when our mother passed, she had made her own recipe cookbook for me and my two other siblings. I’ve been a subscriber of yours for a while…. then tonight, out of the blue, this video of yours, just popped up on my reel. In the three cookbooks my mom made, not one includes her SOS recipe. My father is so lonely and depressed, thankfully he’s active, but he won’t help himself to eat causing him to loose weight, which he didn’t need to loose, as he’s always been slim. With this recipe video appearing just now, on my feed, I’m taking it as a sign from my Mom to make this for him. I think he’ll cry when I bring this meal over for him. Thank you SO much for sharing your recipes and for keeping our dear Lord in your content. May He bless you and your precious family in every way, every day. Much Love and Peace to you. 🎚🙏🏼♥️🇺🇸

Thanks to your dad for his service! 💖

I grew up with that, on toast, mashed potatoes, fried potatoes, biscuits. Nothings better than SOS, yummmm Thank you

My grandma used to make this for us for dinner occasionally, and I used to make this for my family (we have 8 kids-now grown). I also made hamburgers for the side as my husband is a huge meat eater. Our local schools used to also make this and they did what we did as they served it over mashed potatoes. I'd make hamburger gravy, hamburgers, mashed potatoes, and a vegetable. Sometimes biscuits, depended on my mood. We probably ate this once every other month as the kids liked it. I enjoyed watching you make this as it brought back a lot of memories.

Love me some S.O.S. Have been eating it since I was a kid. Born and raised on a farm in Alabama eating it, then 22 years in the USMC eating it. Still eating it.

I love this as a kid. My father cook this for us every time he was in charge of food. He said he learn how to cook this in the army. Still like it to this day. Very comforting food warm and tasty I need some right now.

We in the army ate a lot of it as well ! Enjoyed every bite ! For variety we got it on biscuits ! Good old SOS !

My wonderful Father was in Italy France. And Germany. during World War 2 and cooked this delicious dish for his loving and grateful. Family when he came back home to Tennessee .Thank you Becky for reminding me ,.

My daddy used to make this all the time. He too was a army cook. There were 5 kids. He would add a little sage. Going to try your recipe. Thanks so much!

We used to have this when I was younger. I still do sausage-n- gravy over biscuits, but I forgot about doing the SOS with ground meat! Wow this brings back memories of my childhood. I'm 54, and probably haven't had this in 44 years. Thanks for the reminder, from Texas :)

@@invicta_vita It had never occurred to me to put gravy over fried potatoes. I grew up on a red dirt road in East Texas, and I don't remember anybody ever thinking that fried potatoes needed anything! I think they're just perfect the way they are. My favorite meal.

We put our SOS on mashed potatoes or noodles, more filling.

I sometimes pop some peas into it. I sauté chopped up onions in it.

I love SOS. My mom made it a lot for Sunday brunch. She made it Navy-style with chipped beef, not ground beef. When I joined the Navy, I was one of the few guys on whatever base/ship where I was stationed that liked the stuff. I make it with ground beef, but I usually make it for dinner. So I add a little extra to it: chopped onions, diced carrots, and green peas. Besides serving it over toast, I have it on biscuits, hash browns, fried sliced potatoes, scrambled eggs, and sometimes croutons. Great stuff!

i grew up on that, i've been making it for 40yrs, never measured anything, just eyeballed it. perfect every time. i make it with sausage and bacon. every time i make this i can see my moms smiling face. she served it on homemade biscuits.

I watch youtube cooking videos to relax when I have anxiety spells. I discovered your videos tonight & your videos are great for recipes and comfort tbh. Your voice is relaxing & I thank you for the content & recipe ideas.

Thanks for your service

I'm the oldest of six children so we had a family of eight. Mama did not work a public job but she did work in the house. The old saying that a woman's work is never done is so true. Mom did everything from scratch..... the clothes she made..... blouses, shirts, skirts, socks and the food was wonderful. SOS was a main Staple in our home . Along with potatoes, a lot of dried beans, rice, homemade cornbread and biscuits and Cane or sorghum syrup. Dad retired from the military. When I got married I introduced it to my wife. Occasionally she will substitute and use bulk sausage instead of hamburger. I've always enjoyed fried runny eggs on top of my SOS. And you're right about the fat content because during the Depression that's the reason why the South fared as well as they did was because of the high fat content in their diet. Back then we always had true homemade lard. The Smokehouse is a handy thing to have. Back in the 40s, fifties, and sixties, nothing was wasted. I truly thank the Lord for all of his many blessings throughout the 7and 1/2 decades that I've been here on earth. Thank you Hillbilly Kitchen for your videos and for also sharing the word of God. And may God continue to bless us during these disastrous days that we no doubt are facing in the future. Look up for our Redemption draws nigh!

My husband introduced me to this dish after we met. My dad was a roast man, and I preferred spaghettios and ravioli as small child. I read about it in cookbooks, but that was it. We used ground beef too, instead of chipped beef, which is very salty. Since I was usually feeding at least two men instead of children, I used two and a half pounds of beef. If I ever have to serve teens or adults again, I'll use the beef bouillon to help them think there's more meat and help stretch it too. I still might use at least a pound and a half of meat. I love that you have the Pledge of Alligence in your kitchen, a great reminder of our original values too. We need to turn back to God in this country, too many people are being lured away by Buddha, Mohammed, Hari Krishna and many other false gods. That can't help them in times of trouble or heal their bodies or calm their minds when they have negative and hurtful thoughts. God bless you and your family.

Nutmeg is my favorite spice. I use it when I make soup or a dish my grandmother called Noodle Soup, which is a broth made with beef short ribs, onions, celery and spices. You simmer it until the meat is tender and then add your spaghetti to the broth to cook. When spaghetti is done it is served over boiled potatoes that you mash with a fork. The secret spice is nutmeg. Lol.

Your cook knew his stuff, nutmeg and white gravy/bechemel go back to classic French cooking.

I served in the Army in the early 80's. Loved S.O.S. Still love it. I make Chipped Beef on toast, but I use corned beef in the packages. Adds a lot more flavor. I served in the Army again during Desert Shield/Storm in 90/91. Got me some more Army S.O.S. I do make that too.

I make my hamburger gravy with diced onion, a touch of minced garlic and a can of mushrooms. I use beef bouillon and flour and lots of water to make lots of gravy. I serve it over mashed potatoes, carrots and corn. We always called it “gravy train”. It’s one of my favourite comfort meals. You can really stretch the ground beef with this recipe. I’ve never had it over bread though. God bless you ❤️ and your family in Jesus’ name!

I grew up with that and the chipped beef version. Still love it.

This is that meal we had so much growing up, I swore I would never feed it to my children. 🤣 Next week my oldest will be 27 and so far I have held true to that vow. Lately I have been craving it so I might be giving up on that childhood vow. Our Mom served it over mashed potatoes. Or egg noodles. Its yummy but we ate it wayyy too much.

I’m sitting here drooling over that gravy.

Everything you make are the things we southerners REALLY love!! I am so glad I found you!!!

Thank you again, Becky! Navy man here, SOS was normally served as a side dish every morning along with the norms: eggs, beacon, ham, toast, hashbrowns, and other foods. You normally has a choice of grits or SOS. LOL...the SOS was made with ground up mystery meat...probably leftovers from the evening meal.

I grew up with a Hungarian mother and a Puerto Rican father both grew up very poor during the depression. As a child we ate rice and beans most every day occasionally with some cheaper cuts of beef or pork ,hotdogs were always a staple and lots of cabbage my Mother was very creative. It seemed to be so bountiful piled on my plate. But now as a 55 year old man oh how I remember my mom working hard at that stove to make the best with what she had to work with and those are still some of my favorite meals to this day. Thank you for putting your videos together I moved to rural Kentucky as a teenager and a family had me over for dinner often, they had fried bologna and onions and potatoes. Biscuits and gravy for breakfast and how delicious and hearty those simple but filling meals were. And last but not least I thank you for that great testimony you gave from the book of John and how God can help us even through the worst of times and give us joy and peace I appreciate you Sister. I am now a new subscriber to your channel.

This was my favorite school lunch! Only they served it over mashed potatoes. Toast would work as well. That is about 65 years ago! Thank you for this!

In Navy Boot Camp, we ate this almost EVERY morning and I loved it. They served it with scrambled "powdered eggs", that I wouldn't have eaten except for the SOS. I now cook it and put it over biscuits, which basically removes the second "S" of the equation, making it ... "SOB" :)

​@@christinejohnson1884 I really appreciate your kind words, Christine. However, it would be remiss of me to not reveal the truth... I joined the Navy to avoid being drafted into the Army and going to Vietnam. In the late 1960's an Army draft notification was equal to a death sentence to most of us. I served, but only as a way to hide in the Navy, unlike those brave young men who faced their duty and sometimes gave the ultimate sacrifice. I praise those men- not me- who fought hard and if they survived, returned to a hate filled public here at home, who spat on them for their bravery and willingness to die for our freedom. I appreciate your words, but I don't deserve them. It is those brave men who are the "unsung heroes" that should be held in high esteem. Thank you, Christine and may God bless you.
