I'd like to see the shingle that could soak all that up. You could eat that for a month in the wilderness.

This is the recipe I use its the way they used to make it in the mess hall. If you sweet talk Ellie she has a recipe using chipped or dried beef thats even better than mine maybe she will give it up.

Marine SOS Recipe


1 lb. ground hamburger

1 stick margarine or butter

1/2 cup flour

1/4 teaspoon mace or nutmeg

1 teaspoon onion powder

2 beef bouillon cubes, crushed

1/2 quart whole milk (1 pint)

1/2 quart water

Lastly add salt and plenty of pepper to taste

Dried toast

Pan Fry hamburger mashing fine until all pink is gone and lightly browned, then transfer it to a bowl. Place margarine or butter in a large fry pan and heat until it starts to brown. Reduce heat and stir in flour and brown. Add bouillon, onion powder, mace or nutmeg, water and milk and stir well to dissolve paste. Add the fried hamburger. Using a medium heat, stir until it thickens. If too thick, thin with water. Simmer covered for 30 minutes on low heat, stir often adding water as needed. Lastly, add salt and pepper to taste and simmer a few minutes more. Spoon over dried toast.



* After cooking you can brown it more by placing it in the oven at 250-F for awhile as, long ago, military cooks only had baking ovens to keep large amounts warm until "serving time" which was announced as "Chows Down!"

Mmmm, I can see the stainless steel tray with a couple of scoops poured over some scrambled eggs and hashbrowns. Thanks Jim.

Jim,
I'm going to try this recipe as I have been looking for the Marine Corps gravy since I got out. I've tried hundreds of different gravies, but none seemed to match up with the way the Corps made it. Even called some of the chow halls but they wouldn't give it up. I hope this is it! Semper Fi!
