Sassy S.O.S
Many times, I find myself taking the recipes I know from childhood and trying to add a new and exciting flavor spin to them. Growing up my mom would make S.O.S (gravy on toast) frequently, she usually used chip beef, which I was not a fan of but on occasion she would make it with ground beef, which I enjoyed.
Weekend vibes are here, and I am finding myself looking for a quick yest satisfying meal, so I am thinking of a way to recreate my mom’s S.O.S but with some sass. I found sass by adding red onion, Better than Bullion and a splash of Worcestershire sauce. Talk about adding a new twist on an old classic. It was flavorful and craveable. It took an okay S.O.S to the next level.
