Creamed Beef for SOS

Creamed Beef for SOS (Old Military Recipe)

Traditionally served over toast. But try rice, hash browns, biscuits, or mashed potatoes.
To give it the best flavor (and do it the way Grandma did,) don’t drain the meat after cooking, you need that to make your gravy.

1 pound ground beef
2 cubes chicken bouillon, crumbled
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups low-fat milk or 1 can beef broth with 1 cup of milk

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; stir in the ground beef, chicken bouillon, garlic powder, black pepper, and onion powder. Cook and stir until the beef is crumbly, evenly browned. (Do not drain)

Stir in the flour (sprinkling it all over the cooked hamburger) and cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Stir in the broth and milk and bring to a simmer, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer 5 minutes to thicken.
