Old Timely Hot Chipped Beef
Old Timely Hot Chipped Beef, or S.O.S., as it's more colorfully referred to, is an old wartime recipe that veterans of WWII and people of the Great Depression made famous. When Americans needed a cheap way to stretch out the rations, this was one recipe they turned to. Traditionally, the dried beef dish is served in a creamy sauce over toast or potatoes. This recipe is similar, however, we recommend trying it as a dip with pita chips or crackers. Serve this dish for dinner or as a hearty snack. While it may not be the prettiest recipe you've ever seen, it makes up for it in flavor.
