If you've spent much time in military mess halls or summer camp, you might know this dish as a colorful acronym SOS. The second S is shingle, the toast, and I will leave the first S up to your own research findings. Regardless of what you call it, this cream gravy with ground venison over toast makes a fine stick-to-your-ribs breakfast, or a quick and easy lunch or dinner. We like to serve it over sourdough toast with sliced, vine-ripened tomato.

Spoon the gravy over your favorite toast. I am a big fan of freshly baked sourdough.

Ingredients

2 pounds ground venison

12 or so slices of sourdough bread, lightly toasted

4 cups milk

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 stick of butter

2 teaspoons ground black pepper

1 teaspoon ground sage

Salt to taste

Cooking Instructions

Start by browning the venison. Season with salt, sage and one teaspoon of black pepper. Once the venison has browned, remove it from the pan and reserve. Add the butter to the hot pan and allow it to melt and begin to bubble.

Stir the flour into the butter.

Add the remaining teaspoon of black pepper and stir well. Reduce the heat and return the browned venison to the pan of gravy. Stir well and remove the pan from the heat.

Return the browned venison to the pan and blend it into the gravy.

Serve the gravy over lightly toasted slices of sourdough, or your favorite bread. A few slices of fresh tomato make a nice side dish.
