This is my mom's version of SOS. It is quite good. I generally use fresh
mushrooms sautéed in a bit of butter. For the beef I use the thin-sliced
lunch meat that comes in 4 ounce pkgs.

Curried Chipped Beef and Mushrooms

3/4 pound chipped beef
1 4 oz can sliced mushrooms
1/4 teaspoon curry powder
2 cups cold milk
2 tablespoons cornstarch

Combine milk and cornstarch. Bring to boil in a saucepan, stirring.
Slice chipped beef into small pieces. Add to sauce with other
ingredients.

Serve over toasted English muffins.
