S.O.S. (SHIT ON A SHINGLE) - A COMFORT FOOD MAKEOVER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°
• Arrange bread slices on a half-sheet pan or large cookie sheet. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle generous amounts of onion and garlic powder over the top. Bake at 375° until top is golden, flip and brush other side of bread with olive oil. Return to oven until the bread is golden brown and crisp. (About 7 minutes total.) Remove from heat and set aside. May be served hot or cold, works perfectly as a crouton for salads or soups, or as base for a crostini.
• Brown ground beef and ground pork in a large skillet over medium to medium high heat. Once all meat is well browned, transfer to colander to drain. (Do this over a large bowl to catch any drippings. You don't want them in your drains.)
• Wipe skillet clean with a paper towel, add 2 Tablespoons olive oil and reheat. Add onions and cook until soft and just translucent (About 4 minutes).
• Add garlic and cook 1 minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning. Add shiitake mushrooms, cook for 1 minute, then add button mushrooms. Continue cooking vegetable mixture until mushrooms are golden.
• Season vegetable mixture with salt and pepper. (Doing this before cooking the mushrooms would significantly lengthen browning time.) Return ground meat to pan and stir to distribute all ingredients. Sprinkle flour over mixture and stir well to distribute and coat pieces evenly. (about 1 minute or until the flour smells nutty.)
• Add milk and sour cream, and Worcestershire sauce, stirring constantly until liquids are just below a boil. (Do not let the milk boil. If you do, it will separate and curdle. Definitely not a good thing.) Remove from heat, test for seasoning.
• Serve approximately one tbsp of mixture per slice of toast.

HAMBURGER SOS

Steps:

• 1. Brown ground beef in a large skillet, stirring often. Do NOT drain. WARNING: Product Endorsement. I love my ChopStir when I'm cooking ground beef! It's the best kitchen gadget EVER! (OK, I'm finished.)
• 2. Sprinkle the flour over the ground beef and stir for about 5 minutes, which will lightly brown the flour and soak up the grease.
• 3. Now, it's time to add the cold liquids. I personally use about 3 cups of milk & 1 cup of cold water, but this is a personal decision. If I'm low on milk, I just make up the difference in cold water. No one has ever noticed yet. =^..^= So add the liquids and stir well.
• 4. Add salt & pepper, if desired. Continue cooking the gravy for a few more minutes until it thickens to your desired consistency. If it's too thin, cook it longer. If it's too thick, add a little more cold liquid.
• 5. Serve over slices of toast (the "shingles" of SOS fame; see note above) and/or mashed potatoes. Or skip the knife and tear up the toast pieces before adding the gravy. Just keeping it simple, right? =^..^=
