This is extremely close to the real (not the Navy menu guide) Marine Corps
recipe for SOS. It adds the necessary garlic, onion and Worcestershi
a.. 1 lb ground beef
b.. 1 1/2 tablespoons butter
c.. 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
d.. 1 cup beef broth
e.. 1/2 cup evaporated milk
f.. salt and pepper
g.. 1 teaspoon onion powder
h.. 1 teaspoon garlic powder
i.. 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 Brown the ground beef in a medium skillet over medium-high
heat, until meat is no longer pink. Drain excess fat and set aside.

2 Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium
high heat. Slowly add the flour, stirring constantly, to form a brown roux.

3 Pour in beef broth and milk, mixing well. Add ground beef, then season
with salt and pepper to taste, onion powder, garlic powder and Worcestershire sauce.

4 mix well and simmer for 5-10 mins, until desired thickness is reached.
Spread over a piece of toast

Many other variants exist, of course. Give this a try, though.
Adjust the last 3 ingredients to your taste, of course.
