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.

Steps
- 1
Chop beef to 1/4 inch squares, this is the "chipped" part. Heat butter in a sauce pan over medium heat. Add chipped beef. Cook 2 minutes stirring constantly to crisp slightly.

Stir flour into beef and butter until beef is coated. Cook 2 minutes more, stirring constantly.

Break out your wisk. Slowly pour milk into sauce pan wisking constantly. Continue wisking to eliminate any clumps of flour.
- 4
Bring to a boil still wisking constantly. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer until nice and thick stirring frequently. About 5-10 minutes more.
