S.O.S. (Army Style)

Category: Sandwiches

for 6 - 8 (ish)

2 pounds ground beef
1 onion, chopped
Seasonings: Salt, Pepper, & Garlic Powder
Gravy (recipe included)
Milk & Butter for gravy
16 slices of bread

Brown the ground beef and onion along with seasonings in a heavy skillet until completely done but not dry. Remove from skillet, reserving about 2 Tbsps. of the drippings in the pan. Add 2 Tablespoons butter, and a fourth cup flour, stirring to make a roux. Add a little more butter if it gets too dry. Then add 2 cups warm milk, still stirring or whisking with wire whisk to make gravy. When thick and creamy, return the meat and onion to the skillet with the gravy, stirring to blend. Remove from heat. Toast the bread in whatever fashion you prefer your toast. I usually use a skillet and toast it in a little butter, but a toaster or oven works just as well. Place two pieces of toast onto each plate. Then top with the meat & gravy mixture, serving open-faced and warm.
