This gravy is wonderful over toast, biscuits, rice, pasta, potatoes and grits! I love it over mashed potatoes. Some people make this with chipped or dried beef, too. This was an Army staple, thus the SOS name. I can remember having this gravy for breakfast over toast when I was a child. An easy and economical dish.

I had biscuits and gravy for the first time in Wichita – over here we call the bicuits scones – so it was a bit strange because we eat scones with strawberry jam and cream – but pretty delicious for a breakfast!
I must be hungry! This looks good to me!
I had forgotten all about this recipe. We use to eat it all the time as kids.
We did too! Going to try it and see if my family will eat it. It sure brings memories back to me!
My mom made this with sausage (like the ground meat) and it was delicious. I am 62 yrs old and still remember how wonderful it was.
I LOVE SOS..I MAKE IT ALL THE TIME! OMG…WE HAD THIS ALL THE TIME WHEN I WAS A LITTLE GIRL. I ONLY WISH I COULD RECAPTURE THE FLAVOR MY DADDY HAD IN HIS!!!!! Still to this day I can’t figure out exactly what he put in his! Thanks for Sharing!!!!!
Sometimes the simplicity of a recipe DOES result in a great meal!! Thank you for posting, I send all these recipes to my daughter, she loves them!! Keep it up!!
LOVE SOS!!
We call it SOS as a shortened, and more ‘proper’ name for ( blank ) on a shingle. I have always used dried beef torn up in it, but look forward to trying this. I have also cut up left over ham for the meat, a little chopped up green pepper, and added chopped up hard boiled eggs to the gravy.
I’m from Florida and we always had SOS with chipped Beef.

Wow I was amazed when I passed your page and saw “SOS”
My dad used to make this for me when I was a child and it was soooo good. I make it once in a while when I want to remember those good ole days! Thanks for posting this receipe!
My mom made this weekly – served with fried potatoes. Between that and 6 years in the Navy I see it and want to make it. I’ll have to ask my husband what he thinks – he did 20 years in the Navy!
can you make a batch of this up and freeze it? If so,how long can it stay in the freezer?
I have never tried freezing it. Maybe, someone else can tell you.
It freezes well but if you let it thaw completly before heating it up in a pan, it will get a little watery. Keeps for quite a while in the freezer.
One of these comments said something about $**% on a shingle, but I think I can use me some SOS right now.
I am running a blog carnival and I would really like to add this to the first edition of the blog carnival. The blog carnival is simply a online magazine production that describes in short what the blog post was and links back to it without copying any material. I also ask permission to use the photos that you have posted here if you would like to participate in the blog carnival (no work is needed from you unless you would like to write the 2-3 sentence description of your own post).
Sounds good to me as long as I get a link back. Thank you for asking and have a great weekend.
Thanks! You too!

I wasn’t born in the south by grew up here, my parents were Northern transplants, so while my Mom cooked mostly northern food my Dad embraced Southern living and made SOS quite often. Oh so good…especially for us little girls who loved being able to say “SOS” We got such a giggle out of it! Thanks for sharing!
To be even more proper, I’d call it ‘stuff’ on a shingle these days, lol. Being from the east coast of Virginia, it was served up in cafeterias mostly on toast, and served a lot with chipped beef as the meat.
Mother fixed this a lot when we were kids. I have offered it on a baked potato bar and guys ate it up. We have substituted sausage, bologna, boiled eggs, baked turkey or chicken as well as ham or chipped beef. Usually served it over toast or biscuits.
Have been making this for years but have never used onion in it. My husband would not eat it. I love it but am trying to be careful with what I eat.
