I never thought I'd be sitting here in Scotland watching a cowboy in Oklahoma cooking stuff outside. But I am and it's great. Keep up the good work Kent.
Two years later after you made this video I "tripped" over this video. My parents survived the Korean War and they told me about the G.I. issue rations they would eat to survive during those terrible years (1950-1953). My dad served in the miniscule ROK air force and they didn't eat well but he remembered fondly getting served at a USAAF ration line and got SOS! Years later he badgered my mom to make it and I remember her using the Armour dried beef all the while cursing in Korean. But oh how he enjoyed it. Both my parents have passed but watching this video brought back some great memories of my childhood. I miss my parents dearly and now i have to go make some SOS in their honor. Thank you kind sir for all your cowboy knowledge and culinary wisdom.
I always heard soldiers hated SOS because it was served so much. But I absolutely love it. I can relate to your father having a craving for it. Last time my mother made it, I had it with 12 pieces of toast. I just couldn't get enough of it. Thanks to your father for his service!
Being a retired Army veteran I'm honored that you recognize us and appreciate you keeping old glory flying . Brings a tear to my eye and my heart beats strong because of this. God bless y'all
You forgot to mention because it was the army were both my dad and I learned about the old SOS cream chip beef on toast. Still one of my favorite meals, whether for breakfast lunch or dinner, but in the army, it was a traditional breakfast. As for using sausage with a milk gravy, just add salt, pepper and garlic, and you got sausage gravy, or breakfast gravy, depending on what you want to call it. Not only will that go good on biscuits or toast but also on chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes or hashbrowns as a form of steak and eggs for breakfast, just had some eggs, however you want them to go with your hashbrowns and chicken fried steak with sausage gravy covering the bunch.
@@CowboyKentRollins were honored to have ya cooking for us all. One of these I'm gonna fly out to Texas and throw my nose in the air and sniff out one of those cowboy meals lol
Love me some SOS Kent. I'm an old retired U.S. Coast Guard cook and have made enough SOS over the years to fill up the red river over it's banks. The hardest part was keeping it in the pot during all the rocking and rolling, pitching and slamming on the high seas. You didn't miss a thing during your escapade in culinary wizardry. Top it off with a few fried eggs and some hash browns and you'll need a nap after you eat. I tip my hat to you, Shannon, and the hounds. I love your channel and have a lot to catch up on. I have just got back into cast iron cooking and your videos have been invaluable. God bless you and yours!
This video brought tears to my eyes. My grandad was a poor man and this was a common dish at his house. Still one of my favorites. I miss him so much, thank you Kent!
Hey Kent ... I’m a USMC DAV Honorably and I have to say I really respect your flying the colors and say thank you and God Bless to all our Veterans! God Bless You Sir! From the heart always!
Softball You of all people should know hyper nationalism is not patriotism. You must also be a MAGA sad , critical thinking is important you might want to try it
This brought back so many memories of the tons, yes TONS, of SOS I made as a USMC Food Service Specialist (a.k.a cook). Thank you, sir for the respect you give Old Glory. Brings tears to my eyes to see that our service was not in vain. Ooh Rah and Semper Fi!

ramp agent 92 Welch's Grape Jelly came in 4oz glasses. Or maybe Cheese Whiz? These were the daily breakfast Orange juice Ration glasses. Sneaking a 2nd glass would get ya yelled at!!
Legend has it that the Army's version of this was made with ground beef and called 'S**t On a Shingle,' while the Navy's version was made with dried chipped beef and was known as 'Foreskins On a Raft.' Sounds reasonable to me.....LOL!
This was one of my Dad's favorite meals. We had it about once a week. We called it by name too. One day I went to school and announced we'd had Shit on a Shingle for supper yesterday. I got sent to the principal's office for that one!
My Dad would make SOS when my mom as a nurse worked the 3-11pm shift for dinner for me and my 2 sisters I loved it but my sisters hated it my dad and I would eat my sisters portions. My dad was a Army Vietnam vet and would always eat SOS if they served it in the chow hall I joined the Navy and they would serve it at mid rats at midnight for the guys on their 12-4pm watch on the ship SOS always brings back good memories of my time in the Navy and my dad making it for us as kids he passed away in 1994 great memories I'll make it sometimes and my son and I love but my wife can't stand it go figure
thank you sir a little tear came to my eyes ,remnbering my mother when she use to make the same thing in quebec canada ,from the bottom of my heart thank you sir
Mmm... This takes me back many a year. When I was just a sprout my grandpa, who was an actual old West real cowboy, would make this. And the coffee came from the old old perkalator he used back then. And the coffee had condensed milk. None of that creamer crud. I sure miss him. He's been gone for many years now, but his cooking he passed onto us young'ns lives on. Now I'm teaching it to my grand kiddies! There's ya' a legacy.
We always ate this using Chipped Beef (a form of pressed, salted and dried beef that has been sliced into thin pieces)..... and in fact my Mum always called it CREAM CHIPPED BEEF ON TOAST. My father was career Navy (Chief Warrant Officer) & this was truly a family favorite. *YOUR CONTENT DOESN’T DISAPPOINT BROTHER KENT* EDIT: I make mine with Serranos or Jalapeños.... it’s a Californian thing
My grandma called it the same but would occasionally let an SOS slip. Her late husband had fought in Korea and came back home with a taste for the dish. She would always talk about him over this meal and I would learn a little more about the grandpa I never met. Truly brings back memories.
While in the military(1959-1963), for morning or midnight chow I always had three pieces of toast, sos topped with three fried eggs. No better morning meal or midnight chow.
This was my favorite breakfast many years ago when I was in the Army. I still make it and love it. Never made it with Texas Toast but I sure will try it. Thanks for my Army memories again. God Bless.
I really appreciate seeing this recipe today. A few weeks ago my grandpa passed away, but a fond memory of him popped up in a diner during a road trip last week. It was part of a military museum and the menu fit the theme with several classics, including an S.O.S. platter. I laughed as I remember my grandpa telling me about his service during the Korean War and the name soldiers had for the chipped beef often served. I enjoyed that lunch and am now looking forward to making a batch at home when I feel nostalgic. Thanks Kent!
I love the fact that you bring back those old favorite dishes! Brings back memories of long ago. You are true American and a true patriot. And I love everything you've done so far on this channel. God bless both of you.
Hey Cowboy I'll tell ya, we really enjoyed this video!! Both me and my wife served in the military and that's where I fell in love with SOS about 40 years ago in the Marines. I still make it to this day and raised our kids on it for breakfast and sometimes we have it for supper. I make it very similar to the way you do. Semper Fi Kent and God bless you and your family! Thanks a million Sir!
I'm a certified foodie and during this isolation situation, Mr Rollins you are keeping me sane. I thank you from the bottom of my heart, and the top. I've binge watched about 50 of your videos, subscribed and clicked the little bell. Keep up the great work my man. Your personality shines through in every video.
Wow, I miss that dish! That is a military favorite back in the 50s-60s, with a fried egg on top ... off to the grocery store I go! Thank you for the heart-felt memory.
This was a staple growing up. My grandfather was in the Navy during WWII and it was a favorite of his. He would always ask my mom to make it for him when we visited. It goes to show that great flavor is easy to find in the basics. Thanks for the memories.
It is interesting how much nostalgia this brings to people. My mom used to make it, and it was always one of my favorites. She could never understand why I liked it so much because it was such a simple meal, but something about it is so good!
Im a NYC boy, many many years ago, when I came home from the army, in addition to my saintly mother smothering me in kisses she wanted to make me anything i wanted, I told her chipped beef on toast. My father a WW2 vet started hollering S@@@ on a shingle. My poor mother was mortified. She never heard of such a thing, much less something to eat. She asked everyone in the neighborhood if they knew what it was. Everyone heard of it but no one knew how to make it. Needless to say, I have not eaten it 49 years. Thanks to you I will try this
Yes! My father (WWII Vet) made this for us, too, using chipped beef (the kind in the little glass jars!)! This just didn't look right made from hamburger. Do they even make chipped beef anymore? I'm going to have to find if they make chipped beef! I was so young, I don't remember how he did it! Do you add the chipped beef in last and make a roux just from onions & milk? Yes, even at our tender age he called it Shit on a Shingle. He didn't cuss either!! I miss my dad! He was a great man! 1st scout into Rome, Italy!
Kent, again u brought a piece of my childhood memories back. My mom hated SOS, n fussed a might making it, but my dad, a WWII vet loved it. God rest his soul. I never had it with a biscuit as thats a different comfort food. I like the garlic texas toast idea n having a hankering for some homade from scratch SOS! Thank you for honoring r vets! God Bless n looking forward to more videos.
I had an uncle who was in the Flying Tigers, and he once told me what S. O. S. "really" meant to the guys in the service. 😄 This is undoubtedly better! Thanks, Mr. Rollins! 😁👍
Grew up with my moms recipe of S.O.S. that she picked up from her dad who got it from his time in the military. Cream of Mushroom mixed with ground beef over toast never tasted so good. When I was a kid I was just enjoying some good ol' fashion homemade cooking but what I didn't know was to feed our family of 7 this was my moms go-to for a cheap meal to feed us all! She sure did save our souls! First video I've watched and Kent sure is a character! Loved every second!
I fixed this for supper tonight. My wife loves SOS (I’m retired USAF) and she would get this whenever we went to the NCO club for breakfast. We didn’t have hamburger on hand so I thawed a piece of lean chuck roast and hand diced a couple of cups. It was great and I didn’t expect it to be anything but delicious.
I remember eating sos as a child. It was one of the first things I learned to cook at eight years old. Love the video. As always lots of blessings and love to both of you and your family.
Sos "save our soul". I can't believe it's been two years already since I saw this video and made this for my kids! Seems like just yesterday. My kids also loved your version of the crunchwrap! Always a hit and easy to make! Thank you sir!
My momma always made this ...alot of people don't know about it unless someone from the army talked about it .... My mom always called it sh!t on a shingle ...I'm happy you covered this ...thank you
After reading some of the comments, I have to wonder if my mom learned how to make this from my Papaw (her dad). He served in WW2 as a cook. After he'd enlisted, he started cooking for his fellow soldiers. He was so good, they wanted him to do this permanently. My mom said this was the reason my Papaw survived WW2; he was never in combat because they didn't want to lose their cook! Lol 🤠
This was my absolute favorite when I was back in the Army with sausage, beacon, over easy eggs, and biscuits in garrison. In the field was scrambled yellow and green eggs from the marmite can. I still love making it till this day. Them Army cooks were awesome making this everywhere I was in. Europe, the States, Panama, and Hawaii. That was back in the 80s and 90s. Iraq during 2006-08 was done by civilian contractors like KBR. It was still good because they followed the old Army recipe.
That was back when Army cooks actually cooked real food from scratch. I was usually just getting off of a 12 hour shift when the cooks would pull up with breakfast. Looking back, those were very good times.
Oh Kent you truly are pure wholesome entertainment, full of good tips, good stories and good food... safe travels to Nevada.. S.O.S looks and sounds good!!
Strangely, dry beef was dirt cheap in S.E. Pa. during the sixties. Had a great smoky taste when used as a sandwich meat or with a gravy like in this recipe. We ate it often. Dry beef seems to be an expensive gourmet item these days!
Exactly. Buddig doesn't do it... but it's all they sell now in my town. I remember the good, pure chipped beef... no longer available. Hasn't been available for decades now! What a shame!
What a thought! But what a challenge. Ah, let's let the guy and his wife make the most of this format. It's going well, thanks the Lord! "CAFE ROLLINS" !!!
Mum would call it "chipped beef on toast" her being a proper lady, although I think it was cooked ham about half the time. My favorite was a variation called Sunshine (or daffodil) eggs. Basically hard boiled egg whites in the gravy, with the yolks sprinkled on top. Best Lunch Ever!
Another one of my Mom's favorite cheap meals! We called it Eggs Goldenrod. I really loved these comfort foods more than a piece of meat served with a green veggie and a carb.
@@natureboy6410 (: Nope... you could add some ham or beef but hers was just gravy made with milk, chicken broth, a bit of butter and corn starch. Toss in the cut up whites from hard boiled eggs (cut into little pieces) and when heated through, serve on toast, with the yolks sieved on top. I think she scraped a little nutmeg and black pepper into the gravy, too. When I make it, sometimes I put a bit of frozen corn kernels for texture but her was always the best!
You brought back memories with this one I remember being introduced to this by my uncle Tom when he had come to visit from California. He used sausage and was making it for breakfast. He told me it was a breakfast they served when he was in the Army and it was delicious.
One of my favorite foods. I like mine over thick bisquits. Add a couple of fried eggs with cheese sprinkled on top, fried bacon with hash browns, coffee and a slice of apple pie. Heavenly.
My oh my, I'll be trying this soon. We have used that Armor Shaved Beef in a jar (chipped-beef), and of course sausage gravy, so this will be exciting, thanks Cowboy!
My Dad a WWII navy cook said they had 55 gallon drums of it on board ship. He said they had it in the Pacific about 3 to 4 times per week. He sheepishly said he liked it.
I had this as a kid myself Kent but I really got my fill in the service might have to heat up the old skillet and give it a try just happen to have some of the same bread you used in the freeze thanks and God bless for saving our soul
Kent, I appreciate all of your videos. As an old Army Vet, I loved chipped beef gravy (S.O.S) back then. I haven't been able to find a good recipe until I saw yours. I have a Grandson in the Marines and he has never heard of it, let alone tried it. Keep up the good works and God Bless you and yours.
h...how has this never been the most obvious thing you should do in life? I might have done sausage gravy dozens of times and would probably think to put the white gravy over jacketed potatoes sooner than I would go mash. Women that make mashed potatoes make it like their duty in life though, don't they? A few hand blenders, a kitchen aid or two, yeah? maybe some old ricers.
Thank you for this video. I'm an old Marine Vietnam Vet and certainly miss my SOS. Haven't made it in a long time but I think I'll give it a shot again. Semper Fi to you and yours!
My dad was a Korean War Marine vet. We had SOS all the time. It consisted of chipped (deli sliced) beef or pastrami on toast with milk gravy. As a kid, I loved it because it came with dad's war stories.
Cowboy Kent Rollins my dad and I are planning a road trip to see you in Lebanon MO! My dad does the Ronald McDonald’s shuffle. It’s amazing! You’ve inspired us and we can’t wait to meet you. Stay safe and healthy!
You remind me of my dad!! He passed away 3/10/18 He always cooked southern meals that would stick to ya ribs!! That was his way of showing us how much he loved us!! I’m so glad fot this channel, it keeps his memories closer to my heart!! Thank God for Good Ol Cowboys!! 🌾🐮🤠🐎👨🏼🌾🚜🐖🌻🐓🍯🎣
I have to laugh. In the military everybody used their "complaining" voice when talking about S.O.S. AND there was never any left. lol I've always made mine with the salted dried beef. I forgot to rinse it once. Opps.
LOL. Just watched a video by Emmymadeinjapan yesterday where she did just. Made SOS with a lot of chipped beef that wasn't rinsed and paid for it with the saltiness of the dish.
@Big Bill O'Reilly,WTF is wrong with you?!? Didn't grow up with any manners?!? Some people's kids, I SWEAR ! SMDH Now go wash your mouth out with Clorox, SlipStick.
Our mess cook used to make it with Dried canned ground beef. It's ok if you'd rehydrate it properly. One time he didn't though and it was like grape nuts in cream sauce.
I always put this on those Pillsbury Frozen Biscuits. They are fantastic. However, I have never even considered putting on that New York Texas Toast. I love that toast. I think you just changed my life here Mr. Rollins.
That's what I use today. I could feed 6 people for less than 5 dollars. Jiffy Biscuit mix 89 cents, Buddig lunch meat 69 cents, Gossner whole milk 1 quart Dollar tree $1. Use bacon grease and flour to make roux. Want eggs with that, yep I have my own chickens. Breakfast, lunch or dinner is served.
I gotta say Cowboy Kent, you've made my gravy I use for my southern biscuits and gravy. Now, I normally add the milk once that flour is absorbed by the meat too; but my dad had showed me a way to give it just a hint of sweeter side by adding the milk initially, but then for the remainder, use so half n half. I love it either way honestly. Always loved me some "sh#t on a shingle"/biscuits and gravy. Thanks Kent, you are the greatest cowboy cook with the most delicious dishes. God bless you, Shannon, and the pups!
When I was in grade school back in the early 60s, our school cafeteria would serve corned beef hash and gravy on toast occasionally for lunch. Loved that so much. I may just need to run to the store now and get some corned beef hash and make this for my breakfast. I'm starved thinking about it! Thanks for bringing back memories!
im 27, born and raised in texas. we grew up on S.O.S and macoroni, and water, if we were lucky, sweet tea, or soda when we were real lucky, but see, i had an amazing childhood, my parents did it all, and S.o.S and chocolate biscuits were my favorites
My Momma called it chip beef toast. I've seen 3 of your videos now and those are the only cooking videos I've watched. There ain't no reason to look for any others. Keep em coming my friend.
My dad used to make this for me all the time. I still love it on toast more than biscuits. This video gave me such nostalgia tingles. Thank you, Cowboy Kent and Shan.
Years ago I ordered SOS in a local coffee chop. the waitress ask if I wanted it on toast or a biscuits. I replied, you cant have SOS on a biscuit. That would make it an SOB! I didn't know anyone was listening, Half the place laughed their A** off. KnifeMaker
The best part of SOS is that I can use most any meat in it. My grandmother taught me you can make anything taste good with time and care.
For sure
People also use tuna!
I never thought I'd be sitting here in Scotland watching a cowboy in Oklahoma cooking stuff outside. But I am and it's great. Keep up the good work Kent.

One of the things I miss most. I make it, but it's never as salty or dry hahaha
Had it almost daily in the Marines. Good chow.
KillerBebe Yep, first time I ever had SOS was in the Army back in ‘71. Loved it.
When my father (a WW2 Navy veteran) would make SOS, he always used dried (chipped) beef that came in glass bottles. Fond memories indeed.
Yep we had that as well, I like this version a whole lot better

I really appreciate seeing this recipe today. A few weeks ago my grandpa passed away, but a fond memory of him popped up in a diner during a road trip last week. It was part of a military museum and the menu fit the theme with several classics, including an S.O.S. platter. I laughed as I remember my grandpa telling me about his service during the Korean War and the name soldiers had for the chipped beef often served. I enjoyed that lunch and am now looking forward to making a batch at home when I feel nostalgic. Thanks Kent!
Thanks for watching and for sharing the story would have loved to have met him
I love the fact that you bring back those old favorite dishes! Brings back memories of long ago. You are true American and a true patriot. And I love everything you've done so far on this channel. God bless both of you.
Thanks for watching Robert and God bless you
Hey Cowboy I'll tell ya, we really enjoyed this video!! Both me and my wife served in the military and that's where I fell in love with SOS about 40 years ago in the Marines. I still make it to this day and raised our kids on it for breakfast and sometimes we have it for supper. I make it very similar to the way you do. Semper Fi Kent and God bless you and your family! Thanks a million Sir!
Scott thank you both for your service and and it is good eating, God bless you and yours
Semper Fi Brother
My grandma said during the depression they'd feed all the neighborhood kids no matter if they had enough or not. Everyone ate.
Incredible! I wonder how she did it. She must have been very resourceful!
That is the America we have lost
Bless this great nation and Kent Rollins.
Thanks for watching and God bless you
I'm a certified foodie and during this isolation situation, Mr Rollins you are keeping me sane. I thank you from the bottom of my heart, and the top. I've binge watched about 50 of your videos, subscribed and clicked the little bell. Keep up the great work my man. Your personality shines through in every video.
Ian thank you so much for watching. These are tough times but we'll get through it my friend.
Wow, I miss that dish! That is a military favorite back in the 50s-60s, with a fried egg on top ... off to the grocery store I go! Thank you for the heart-felt memory.
That is some good eating
This was a staple growing up. My grandfather was in the Navy during WWII and it was a favorite of his. He would always ask my mom to make it for him when we visited. It goes to show that great flavor is easy to find in the basics. Thanks for the memories.
It is interesting how much nostalgia this brings to people. My mom used to make it, and it was always one of my favorites. She could never understand why I liked it so much because it was such a simple meal, but something about it is so good!
It is good eating, we had at least once a week at home
Im a NYC boy, many many years ago, when I came home from the army, in addition to my saintly mother smothering me in kisses she wanted to make me anything i wanted, I told her chipped beef on toast. My father a WW2 vet started hollering S@@@ on a shingle. My poor mother was mortified. She never heard of such a thing, much less something to eat. She asked everyone in the neighborhood if they knew what it was. Everyone heard of it but no one knew how to make it. Needless to say, I have not eaten it 49 years. Thanks to you I will try this
Thanks Joe for your service and hope you enjoy
That's a great story!
Yes! My father (WWII Vet) made this for us, too, using chipped beef (the kind in the little glass jars!)! This just didn't look right made from hamburger. Do they even make chipped beef anymore? I'm going to have to find if they make chipped beef! I was so young, I don't remember how he did it! Do you add the chipped beef in last and make a roux just from onions & milk? Yes, even at our tender age he called it Shit on a Shingle. He didn't cuss either!! I miss my dad! He was a great man! 1st scout into Rome, Italy!
@@cyndibraden8753 Chipped beef is still made. You can even get it at the fast food restaurant "Roy Rogers" during breakfast hours.
@@cyndibraden8753 I've eaten it with Farmer John's sausages and it was very, very delicious. If you're struggling, you can always substitute the meat.
God bless this man. Im currently in Korea, but this gentleman truly makes me feel like im at home. Thank you Cowboy Kent!
Kent, again u brought a piece of my childhood memories back. My mom hated SOS, n fussed a might making it, but my dad, a WWII vet loved it. God rest his soul. I never had it with a biscuit as thats a different comfort food. I like the garlic texas toast idea n having a hankering for some homade from scratch SOS! Thank you for honoring r vets! God Bless n looking forward to more videos.
This was one of my Dad's favorites. He was in the Army and they served it a lot. Love you Dad and I miss you!
Thanks for watching
I had an uncle who was in the Flying Tigers, and he once told me what S. O. S. "really" meant to the guys in the service. 😄 This is undoubtedly better! Thanks, Mr. Rollins! 😁👍
Grew up with my moms recipe of S.O.S. that she picked up from her dad who got it from his time in the military. Cream of Mushroom mixed with ground beef over toast never tasted so good. When I was a kid I was just enjoying some good ol' fashion homemade cooking but what I didn't know was to feed our family of 7 this was my moms go-to for a cheap meal to feed us all! She sure did save our souls!
First video I've watched and Kent sure is a character! Loved every second!
I fixed this for supper tonight. My wife loves SOS (I’m retired USAF) and she would get this whenever we went to the NCO club for breakfast. We didn’t have hamburger on hand so I thawed a piece of lean chuck roast and hand diced a couple of cups. It was great and I didn’t expect it to be anything but delicious.
I remember eating sos as a child. It was one of the first things I learned to cook at eight years old. Love the video. As always lots of blessings and love to both of you and your family.
Thanks Boni for watching and God bless you
We always used chipped beef instead of ground beef. Totally different flavor
This is one of the most wholesome shows ive ever seen gives me fred rogers vibes
Thanks for watching James and I'm honored
I told him he was the boss Ross of cowboys. The man really is a great to humanity
I love the beagle! He’s a cutie & he’s stealing the show.
He is the real star
@@CowboyKentRollins Love em' both, and I'll bet they love your cookin'!! 😊
you brought me back to my army days,sos was my #1 fav at the chow hall! thanks for the bringing back the memory's
Thanks for watching and for your service
No need to signal SOS when you have this S.O.S.! I know it was a hard time food, but I like it anytime. Rock on cowboy!
Thanks my friend and we sure like it
Sos "save our soul". I can't believe it's been two years already since I saw this video and made this for my kids! Seems like just yesterday. My kids also loved your version of the crunchwrap! Always a hit and easy to make! Thank you sir!
My momma always made this ...alot of people don't know about it unless someone from the army talked about it .... My mom always called it sh!t on a shingle ...I'm happy you covered this ...thank you
Thanks for watching, it is great comfort food
After reading some of the comments, I have to wonder if my mom learned how to make this from my Papaw (her dad). He served in WW2 as a cook. After he'd enlisted, he started cooking for his fellow soldiers. He was so good, they wanted him to do this permanently. My mom said this was the reason my Papaw survived WW2; he was never in combat because they didn't want to lose their cook! Lol 🤠
SOS have always been my most favorite and memorable dish when I was in the Marine Corps.
Thanks for watching and for your service
Semper FI Brother
This was my absolute favorite when I was back in the Army with sausage, beacon, over easy eggs, and biscuits in garrison. In the field was scrambled yellow and green eggs from the marmite can. I still love making it till this day. Them Army cooks were awesome making this everywhere I was in. Europe, the States, Panama, and Hawaii. That was back in the 80s and 90s. Iraq during 2006-08 was done by civilian contractors like KBR. It was still good because they followed the old Army recipe.
Thanks for watching and for your service
That was back when Army cooks actually cooked real food from scratch. I was usually just getting off of a 12 hour shift when the cooks would pull up with breakfast. Looking back, those were very good times.
AIRBORNE! All the way........brother!
Wait…green eggs? Explain.
@@ludotoyhunter8492 The US Military uses powdered eggs. They turn green when cooked.
Oh Kent you truly are pure wholesome entertainment, full of good tips, good stories and good food... safe travels to Nevada..
S.O.S looks and sounds good!!
Thanks Nikki for watching
Strangely, dry beef was dirt cheap in S.E. Pa. during the sixties. Had a great smoky taste when used as a sandwich meat or with a gravy like in this recipe. We ate it often. Dry beef seems to be an expensive gourmet item these days!
Exactly. Buddig doesn't do it... but it's all they sell now in my town. I remember the good, pure chipped beef... no longer available. Hasn't been available for decades now! What a shame!
Hormel still sells it in jars
Lord knows there wouldn’t be nothing finer than a Kent Rollins diner
Here, here!!!
Amen that's right haha
Amen to that
What a thought! But what a challenge. Ah, let's let the guy and his wife make the most of this format. It's going well, thanks the Lord! "CAFE ROLLINS" !!!
Thundercat J I'd have to get in the truck right now to make it there in time for breakfast though. Save some grub for me!
To all the U.S.Army cooks out there, the best SOS I ever had. And consistently great!
Thanks for watching and for you and their service
Mum would call it "chipped beef on toast" her being a proper lady, although I think it was cooked ham about half the time. My favorite was a variation called Sunshine (or daffodil) eggs. Basically hard boiled egg whites in the gravy, with the yolks sprinkled on top. Best Lunch Ever!
Now that does sound good
That sounds good enough to try. Did she use meat also?
Another one of my Mom's favorite cheap meals! We called it Eggs Goldenrod. I really loved these comfort foods more than a piece of meat served with a green veggie and a carb.
@@natureboy6410 (: Nope... you could add some ham or beef but hers was just gravy made with milk, chicken broth, a bit of butter and corn starch. Toss in the cut up whites from hard boiled eggs (cut into little pieces) and when heated through, serve on toast, with the yolks sieved on top. I think she scraped a little nutmeg and black pepper into the gravy, too. When I make it, sometimes I put a bit of frozen corn kernels for texture but her was always the best!
Lisa McNeill We called them Goldenrod Eggs, on toast.
You brought back memories with this one I remember being introduced to this by my uncle Tom when he had come to visit from California. He used sausage and was making it for breakfast. He told me it was a breakfast they served when he was in the Army and it was delicious.
Thanks for watching
One of my favorite foods. I like mine over thick bisquits. Add a couple of fried eggs with cheese sprinkled on top, fried bacon with hash browns, coffee and a slice of apple pie. Heavenly.
Yes!
My oh my, I'll be trying this soon. We have used that Armor Shaved Beef in a jar (chipped-beef), and of course sausage gravy, so this will be exciting, thanks Cowboy!
My Dad a WWII navy cook said they had 55 gallon drums of it on board ship. He said they had it in the Pacific about 3 to 4 times per week. He sheepishly said he liked it.
Instead of using the shaved beef in the jar, I use the little Budding lunch meat packs. Works good to make enough for 2 people.
I had this as a kid myself Kent but I really got my fill in the service might have to heat up the old skillet and give it a try just happen to have some of the same bread you used in the freeze thanks and God bless for saving our soul
Thanks for watching and God bless you
Kent, I appreciate all of your videos. As an old Army Vet, I loved chipped beef gravy (S.O.S) back then. I haven't been able to find a good recipe until I saw yours. I have a Grandson in the Marines and he has never heard of it, let alone tried it. Keep up the good works and God Bless you and yours.
Way back when, this is how we rated the mess halls. If they made good SOS, then they ran the risk of being a good one.
Thanks Dave for watching and for your service
Amen! This and an omelette that ya didn’t have to drink! Between SOS and good omelettes, a body could work through the day!
Cowboy Kent Rollins- Sir, I thank you for your highly motivational culinary skills demonstrations.
For me, it was the Chili Mac....I still dream of Army Chili Mac.
One of the best things our Military has done is to introduce us Yankees to SOS.
We eat this over mashed potatoes. One of my wife’s favorites.
Fine dining it is
Hmmm! This comment gave me ideas for dinner
@America Reigns ?
Jeremy Harshman now thats an idea like an SOS manhattan
h...how has this never been the most obvious thing you should do in life? I might have done sausage gravy dozens of times and would probably think to put the white gravy over jacketed potatoes sooner than I would go mash. Women that make mashed potatoes make it like their duty in life though, don't they? A few hand blenders, a kitchen aid or two, yeah? maybe some old ricers.
Simple food is my favorite. Some of the best meals I’ve had were just beans and rice.
It's like guitar - any more n' three chords, you're just showin' off.
L
Red beans and rice is one of my favorite meals.
@bmcgmusic succ
Thank you for this video. I'm an old Marine Vietnam Vet and certainly miss my SOS. Haven't made it in a long time but I think I'll give it a shot again. Semper Fi to you and yours!
We thank you so much for your service and hope you enjoy
A family favorite. Served on rice, with green peas on top.
My dad was a Korean War Marine vet. We had SOS all the time. It consisted of chipped (deli sliced) beef or pastrami on toast with milk gravy. As a kid, I loved it because it came with dad's war stories.
I'm over 60 and I grew up on hamburger gravy, that's what we called it.
@John Kugelfischer, um, you saying you are a Long-Term guest on the Gray Bar Hotel are ya?!?
(GULP!!)
That's what we grew up on.
yep.. thats what we call it too if you use hamburger.. its actually SOS if you use chipped beef.. but like Kent said, you can use any kind of meat...
Hamburger gravy over homemade biscuits.... yummm!
We also called it hamburger gravy, and used water instead of milk.
My father and I often bond over your videos and food. We’re from Missouri, and good ole SOS really hits home. God bless you and yours. You’re awesome!
Thanks for watching and God bless you
Cowboy Kent Rollins my dad and I are planning a road trip to see you in Lebanon MO! My dad does the Ronald McDonald’s shuffle. It’s amazing! You’ve inspired us and we can’t wait to meet you. Stay safe and healthy!
God Bless my dad, it's the only thing he knew how to make. Wish I had some now. Thanks for turning on the good, old memories. #SosShuffle
Thanks for watching
My oh my! What a great rendition of a backwoods classic! And you know what? We used to get this on them Navy ships! SOS by golly!
Thanks for watching and for your service
SOS is so good my grandma raised me up on that it's just basically meat gravy and bread with some spices
You remind me of my dad!! He passed away 3/10/18 He always cooked southern meals that would stick to ya ribs!! That was his way of showing us how much he loved us!! I’m so glad fot this channel, it keeps his memories closer to my heart!! Thank God for Good Ol Cowboys!!
🌾🐮🤠🐎👨🏼🌾🚜🐖🌻🐓🍯🎣
Yes sir this is a trip down memory lane
I have to laugh. In the military everybody used their "complaining" voice when talking about S.O.S. AND there was never any left. lol
I've always made mine with the salted dried beef. I forgot to rinse it once. Opps.
Thanks for watching Richard and for your service
LOL. Just watched a video by Emmymadeinjapan yesterday where she did just. Made SOS with a lot of chipped beef that wasn't rinsed and paid for it with the saltiness of the dish.
My mom made it the same, but she never rinsed it... that's just the way we ate it!!
@Big Bill O'Reilly,WTF is wrong with you?!?
Didn't grow up with any manners?!?
Some people's kids, I SWEAR !
SMDH
Now go wash your mouth out with Clorox, SlipStick.
Our mess cook used to make it with Dried canned ground beef. It's ok if you'd rehydrate it properly. One time he didn't though and it was like grape nuts in cream sauce.
My mother made this when I was growing up, and how about hobo dinner's, sure do miss her but it looks delicious and thanks for sharing.
Thanks Steven for watching
I always put this on those Pillsbury Frozen Biscuits. They are fantastic.
However, I have never even considered putting on that New York Texas Toast. I love that toast.
I think you just changed my life here Mr. Rollins.
S.O.S. is my favorite meal hands down. My favorite way is with venison, Mhmm.
And I can agree with ariat being a pretty good brand
That brings back memories. My first time trying venison was in a basic white gravy and it was absolutely delicious.
Good eating it is
Looks good sometimes I use that cheap Buddings lunch meat when that cash is low. Couple of eggs whatever bread you might have good for the day.
Oh man Buddig's takes me back a couple decades.
My mom used that same stuff!
That's what I use today. I could feed 6 people for less than 5 dollars. Jiffy Biscuit mix 89 cents, Buddig lunch meat 69 cents, Gossner whole milk 1 quart Dollar tree $1. Use bacon grease and flour to make roux. Want eggs with that, yep I have my own chickens. Breakfast, lunch or dinner is served.
I gotta say Cowboy Kent, you've made my gravy I use for my southern biscuits and gravy. Now, I normally add the milk once that flour is absorbed by the meat too; but my dad had showed me a way to give it just a hint of sweeter side by adding the milk initially, but then for the remainder, use so half n half. I love it either way honestly. Always loved me some "sh#t on a shingle"/biscuits and gravy. Thanks Kent, you are the greatest cowboy cook with the most delicious dishes. God bless you, Shannon, and the pups!
Thanks for watching and God bless you
When I was in grade school back in the early 60s, our school cafeteria would serve corned beef hash and gravy on toast occasionally for lunch. Loved that so much. I may just need to run to the store now and get some corned beef hash and make this for my breakfast. I'm starved thinking about it! Thanks for bringing back memories!
Just made this with a pound of sausage for breakfast! So good! You’re an inspiration
I make it quite often. We had it a lot on the ship I was stationed on. That’s where I first ate it. Love the video!!
Thanks for watching Gary and your service
Had it growing up & in the Army. SOS, think I need to make it. It’s been awhile. Thanks 😊
im 27, born and raised in texas. we grew up on S.O.S and macoroni, and water, if we were lucky, sweet tea, or soda when we were real lucky, but see, i had an amazing childhood, my parents did it all, and S.o.S and chocolate biscuits were my favorites
95 thumbs down? That's downright dispictable. Those individuals have no soul. Another great video Kent. I love everyone
Thanks for watching
Ummmmmmmmmmm...Brings back memories of Sunday mornings when we were kids.
Thanks Opal for watching
We used to have this for lunch in elementary school ontop of potato wedges! ♥️
Good eating it is
My Momma called it chip beef toast. I've seen 3 of your videos now and those are the only cooking videos I've watched. There ain't no reason to look for any others. Keep em coming my friend.
Thanks Chris for watching
My mom used to eat this during the depression and she made it for me a while ago it was real yummy
My dad used to make this for me all the time. I still love it on toast more than biscuits. This video gave me such nostalgia tingles. Thank you, Cowboy Kent and Shan.
Glad you enjoyed, it is great comfort food
I prefer sos on toast over biscuits too. My mom still puts it on toast when she makes it. Good Stuff.
Try it with white rice grandma use to own a daycare for 50+ years and it was one of the things on the menu and all us kids fucking loved it!
I love the flag in the background ❤
Old Glory we fly it with honor and pride
Me to, thank you for acknowledging it.
What's the flag stand for?
Flying 2 at my crib. About to make me some 🆘.
@@MrNimtiz everything
Growing up in NW Oklahoma, we had this for supper many nights along with sliced tomatoes or green beans. Yes, it does bring back fond memories.
Good eating it is
SOS is a comfort food of mine. We ate it allot when I was younger and my old man was trying to get his business off the ground.
This and the biscuits and gravy variant are my favorite. As for s.o.s., we always top with an egg.
“Quality control inspectors” they’re doggone good! 😂
They have good jobs
@@CowboyKentRollins my qci all agree and all the ones who have ever been with me agree.
I just made this. It came out really good. I put this over a some baguette we got from church. Really filling. Thanks for posting this.
Glad yall enjoyed and thanks for watching
Brings back great memories had this many of a morning for breakfast, we used corn beef, always enjoyed it. Great recipe Kent
Thanks James for watching
Cowboy Kent Rollins my pleasure
Same here. Only used corn beef. Also use wondra flour in it.
Still one of my top 5 favorite meals. SOS is so good!
Mine too! And my mom's melt-in-your-mouth meatloaf. 🤠
Years ago I ordered SOS in a local coffee chop. the waitress ask if I wanted it on toast or a biscuits. I replied, you cant have SOS on a biscuit. That would make it an SOB! I didn't know anyone was listening, Half the place laughed their A** off.
KnifeMaker
😂😂😂👍
Love it!!
lol. :p
Now who would want an SOB for breakfast? :
Knifemaker? Now I'm curious! Fixed blade specialties?
God bless you both, and your puppy doggies, and all your loved ones. Thanks for another great video!
