SOS Hamburger Gravy

SOS Hamburger Gravy – This hamburger creamed gravy or SOS is wonderful over toast, biscuits, rice, pasta, potatoes and even grits! This easy-to-make dish comes from Depression cooking, where a little meat could be stretched to feed & fill up a lot of people, and from the United States military, for the same reason. It is also super simple and quick!

  • 2 cups milk (2% or higher)
  • 4 tbsp salted butter
  • 4 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
