For anyone who worked for Uncle Sam and ate at the cafeterias, you know about the classic breakfast food called S.O.S. or in other words White Gravy with Roast Beef Chips over Toast.
Here is my own recipe for it:
Mix in a pint container per serving desired:
1 oz vegie oil
1 cup milk
1/4 teas. salt
1/4 teas. pepper
1/4 cup flour
After beating this together, pour it into a greased/oiled pan and bring it to a boil while stirring. If it becomes too thick add hot water from the tap to thin it to the desired consistency.
Reduce the heat and add chips of roast beef from your fridge.
Also add some frozen vegies.
Cover and bring slowly to a boil again.
Turn off the heat.
Toast 2 slices of bread per serving, place these toasted in a big bowl, then pour the S.O.S. mixture over the bread.
This is a hearty breakfast with several food groups in it --
- meat
- milk (not kosher if you're Jewish, sorry)
- vegies
- carbs
- oil (lipids).
If you have fruit juice with it that is yet another food group -- fruits.
I usually have iced tea however, for a lite caffeine boost.
One serving is very hearty and will get you to lunch without any hunger. The beef makes the meal last 6 hours until you are hungry again.
You can also make this with fried ground beef, as long as you fry the ground beef first separately, before you add the gravy mix. I like chipped roast beef better though. This is all part of my strategy to use up a roast I baked last night. This is the breakfast portion of the roast beef.
I am having this now as we speak/write/read.
Enjoy !!
