Chipped Beef S.O.S
S.O.S. stands for er... sh!t on a shingle. Yep, excuse the language, but knowing the name and its history are important. 😉
Originally a US military meal having its start during war time because it was inexpensive to make, especially in large quantities, it is traditionally a chipped beef white gravy served over toast. However ground beef and tuna have been used in alternate versions. It's a good, cheap dinner (or breakfast) idea that brings on a flood of nostalgia for many people.

After this is salted it can be used to make many different recipes. Concerning Prauge Powder, It is used in cured meats to kill bacteria, prevent botulism and add flavor. However it is extremely toxic if ingested directly; in fact, it's colored pink to prevent people from mistaking it for regular salt. Do not mistake Prauge Powder with pink Himalayan salt. So use this with care in this recipe and others like this, it is very safe and necessary for proper flavor and food safety. This being said, you should know the risks, keep the curing salts properly labeled and out of the reach of children.
