Ingredients
- 3 pounds ground beef
- 1/2 pound butter
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon chicken base (paste)
- 1 tablespoon seasoned salt, (recommended: Lawry's)
- 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
- 1/2 gallon 2 percent milk
- 3 pounds potatoes, sliced
- 3/4 tablespoon cooking oil
- 3 green bell peppers, seeded and diced
- 2white onions, diced
- 2 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper
- Loaf white bread
- Home fries, as an accompaniment
- Fruit
Directions
Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat and set aside.
Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat, being careful not to burn it. Slowly whisk in the flour to make a roux. You are looking for a thick consistency. Add the chicken base, season with salt and garlic. Slowly whisk in the milk. Turn the heat to high and bring to a boil. Let it boil for 2 to 3 minutes, then lower the heat to medium. Whisk periodically until the mixture gets thick. Let simmer while you prepare the potatoes.
Peel and thinly slice the potatoes. Put them in a large skillet with cooking oil and cook for 10 minutes. Add the bell peppers and onions, and continue cooking until golden brown. Whisk in the black pepper and browned beef. Toast the white bread and put the slices on serving plates. Ladle the SOS over the top of the toast. Serve with home fries and a piece of fruit.

I've been making this for many, many years, calling it creamed hamburger over noodles...I brown the ground chuck, drain, add 2 or 3 T. butter and add chopped onion...saute until onion is almost translucent, add 3 cloves of fresh, minced garlic (or more, to taste when garlic is fragrant, I add 3 T. flour, some thyme, salt and pepper and stir gently for a few minutes, and then add the milk,stirring gently until it comes to a slow boil and thickens...if it becomes thicker than you want, add a little chicken broth....yes, chicken broth...serve over extra wide al dente egg noodles...add chopped fresh flat italian parsley over top and WOWWWWW! At least it has always been a favorite of my family...hope you will try and tweak as you see fit! :-

I have never had it with hamburger before, it was really good. I added a few extras. Didn't have any chicken base, onions, peppers and potatoes so used a full can of chicken broth, about a Tbsp. liquid smoke and a few good shakes of hot sauce. I only gave it 4 stars because of my not having all the ingredients including seasoned salt (used good sea salt I will make this again...and again and again : Will have enough left over to use on top of scrambled eggs in the morning.
