Creamed Chipped Beef on Toast

Creamed Chipped Beef on Toast — often affectionately (or not-so-affectionately) known as "S.O.S." in military circles — is a classic, comforting dish with deep American roots. It’s made with thinly sliced dried beef, typically from jarred or packaged products, served in a creamy, seasoned white sauce over toasted bread.

The creamy sauce balances the saltiness of the dried beef, while the toast provides a crisp, buttery base that soaks up the savory richness. Some people like to add a pinch of nutmeg or a dash of hot sauce to punch it up.
