Brooke, just letting you know, the original SOS made with chipped beef suggested you soak the beef in water over night to get rid of the excess salt. Salt was one way to preserve meat in "them olden days", and when you were going to make a meal out of it, it was rinsed and soaked to make it less salty and more palatable for those who didn't like a lot of salt. As you found out, the flour and 4 cups of milk diluted the salt, making it a super simple and delicious meal. Btw, both my mother and father were "Depression era kids", so SOS was just a normal thing for us growing up. I still make a version of it with hamburger on baked potatoes, which is very good. Wasn't surprised at the food frenzy by "the guys"! LOL Great video!

I grew up eating SOS because we were poor & it filled our tummies. We never bought the dried meat in a jar though. We always had whatever the cheapest package of lunch meat was & mom would’ve just fry those thin pieces of meat up, then do they gravy. We also ate a lot of rice with milk. often times the milk was made from the powdered milk because that was cheaper than regular milk. My mom was so good at coming up with ways to fill out bellies with very little ingredients 🥰

I ADORE this. My Granny made this for me every day (at my request) on a baked potato for lunch. I walked to her house from school for this treat and felt like a queen because I wasn't eating a school lunch. She called it Dried Beef Gravy (no onion, plenty of pepper). It was like velvet. Sometimes, today, I make it and put it over mashed potatoes. It's so comforting, and it reminds me of my sweet Appalachian grandmother who could cook anything the South had to offer. She was a wonderful woman.

Split biscuits open before spooning gravy in them. This is also frugal if made with tomato gravy. Both were used in the depression by my mother's family. My brother would eat the tomato gravy until it was gone. He would use light bread when he ran out of biscuits. Sadly, I am the only one left of my family. All the memories go when I go.

It is such a good feeling when the people you love enjoy the food you prepare for them. Thank you again for sharing this video, and giving me a much needed laugh.

My step-dad grew up very, very poor in the Depression. One of his favorite meals (and mine) was Red Flannel Hash. Leftover beef of any kind, boiled potatoes, cooked beets, onion powder. Grind it all and mix well. Cook with a little oil in a frying pan until crispy on the outside and hot inside. A cast iron pan works best if possible. It is so, so good. Filling and comforting. It's lovely with a big mug of hot tea. Dusty is adorable in this. Do you not ever feed those poor starving creatures? Lol. I know you do. I've been watching you a long time. This is my favorite video, I loved watching the guys. I don't think your heart was in it at first, it was sweet to see you enjoy it. So glad you are showing meals from this Era.

They sell it at Walmart with the prepacked lunch meat.

LOL! I was a 1950’s baby. Both of my parents grew up during the Great Depression. My father’s family, with 2 children, had enough of everything, and my mother’s family, with 9, did not always have enough. One of my uncles told me, “There was never a night when we had nothing for supper. There were many nights when we didn’t have enough.” SOS was never served in my home growing up. My parents had eaten too much of it early in life to want to make it at home. Even so, I had it at school and at summer camp - always on toast, never on a potato or biscuit. I would eat it but never liked it much. We called the meat “chipped beef” not “dried beef.” I remember that it was inexpensive, although not truly cheap. Its main virtue was that it was sliced extremely thin so it only took a very little bit to flavor the milk gravy. Therefore, for a large family you could use less than a pound of meat, and everyone felt they had eaten meat

You know, I have seen quite a lot of great depression recipes recently and I am starting to think that my family never left the depression. We make many of these recipes on a regular basis as our normal every day diet. We are so screwed if there is another depression.

I grew up on this too! I'm 68 and I fixed this for my husband and 2 children. I put it on rice. They loved it! I used the whole jar and tore the pieces apart by hand. Thank you for sharing this for everyone. I have heard you could rinse it off but I never have or did. I just found your channel and love it and your family ❤❤❤😊😊😊 again thank you 😊

Child of the 60's here and we had SOS when I was growing up! As a matter of fact, my Mom just made it with tuna a week ago because we hadn't had it for a long time! Normally tho, we make it with dried beef. My MIL was vegetarian, and she made it with asparagus and topped it with hard cooked eggs - SO GOOD! edit: someone mentioned peas! you MUST have peas! (unless it's the vegetarian version with asparagus)

Hi! I really like the great depression series. We ate that growing up too. We saved the jars for glasses. 😊 I agree- it is so expensive now. Just an fyi - we always rinsed the dried beef with water to wash off all the excess salt. Enjoying your videos! Have a blessed day!

Our family made this for years growing up! What a reminder. We made it with 4 tbsp butter melted over medium low heat, add 4 tbsp flour along with at least 2 tsp black pepper and cook until it makes a paste. Add 1 cup milk and one packet of Buddig dried beef and stir constantly until starts to thicken. Add milk if need to thin it back out (will continue to thicken in pan) We serve it over toast. Delish!

You guys are amazing 😂 My mom made this when I was growing up in the 90s. Not because we were poor but because it was something her and my dad just loved, but we always had it with bologna.

😂 Brooke your face with how salty it was. This video made me laugh so much. We know your family eat well but this video made it look like they were starving. My 19yr old son and I made the Milkorna and had it with honey . We also made the biscuits both were OK. We are going to make the Milkorna apple Betty soon. Love from England 🇬🇧

I remember when I was young watching my dad and one of my uncles devour some SOS. It did not look appetizing to me. They had added on top of the toast some fresh asparagus that my great aunt had picked that morning. Now watching your family devour it as well, I might have to give it a try. When you said the actual price of the dried beef, I thought it might be good to make the gravy with just onions (or mushrooms) if there was no meat in the house. This was one of your funniest videos Brooke! Love you and your family!

My Daddy often made it for us, he was in the military and then a firefighter, they ate it often. We had a large family (7 children) and my dad liked it made with dried beef or hamburger. He would soak the beef first in water & drain to remove some of the saltiness of the dried beef. We are it most of the time over toast ( just a loaf of cheap, white, grocery store bread).

I would absolutely love to meet you in person one day. I love you guys, y'all are awesome. I was dying from laughing so much when you tried the dried beef. But then I felt bad for Brayden when he tried it. Then I started laughing again when y'all were trying it. Y'all are so wholesome and warm my heart. Y'all are a joy to watch for sure

Thank you for making me laugh! I had a rough day, health wise. You tasting the salty dried beef you had me laughing. The first time I had dried beef, I reacted similar. I grew up with sausage and gravy on biscuits as SOS. I grew up in the Midwest.

A few months ago the price was higher at my Walmart, high enough for me to agree I wouldn't put it in my rotation. I just checked now and it's $3 and change for either Armor or Hormel. At half a jar per family meal, that's still a decent budget meal. I may just have to make it. Haven't had it in years. :)

My great grandma told me that when she was raising her 11 kids during the great depression, they didnt always have meat. They lived off her garden. She would make white gravy with onion in it. Cook the onion till soft in butter , add the flour. Add your milk and serve over one of those 3 options with lots of veggies on the side. She said adding any kind of meat was a treat.
