Also #1 husband, who was in the Air Force called Creamed Chipped Beef over Baking Powder Biscuits SOS. Love that too, but it is a tad on the salty side.
I also throw in a can of mushrooms into the Hamburger Gravy. Serve it with peas, mix the whole mess together on the plate. It truly is a comfort food that you would never, ever find on the Cooking Channel, eh? Edie

I always thought SOS (military slang - I won't translate the anagram!) was Creamed (dried) Chipped Beef. It was made with a white cream sauce and served over toast. Armor Meats still makes it - it is packaged in an 8-oz. glass with a metal lid. In fact, Stouffer's makes frozen creamed beef just like what I grew up on. I still love it. Never knew it was SOS until my ex-army husband told me - years and years ago!
My kids got hamburger gravy over mashed potatoes in school in the 70's, and I like that, too, but it's not what we called SOS.
Maybe it depends on what area you're from.

no idea but my dad was in the AF and when my mom made this, they always called it SOS. Also it's the name of at least 2 recipes at allrecipes.com, both of which use ground beef, so apparently others do too. I've never had it with the jarred beef.
