This is our version of a traditional military breakfast dish, usually served in a cereal bowl.

Cook ground beef until browned. Break up the chunks of meat into small pieces. Add onion and pepper. Cook over medium to low heat until softened. Add milk, stirring constantly and slowly add flour when milk starts to simmer, not boil. Keep stirring and add flour or water until a nice gravy is produced. Salt and pepper to taste. This recipe uses a goodly amount of ground pepper to duplicate the good ol' army chow. Serve immediately, spooned over two pieces of buttered white bread toast, each cut in half on the diagonal.

If it is like our kitchen, there will be no leftovers. John Hartman Indianapolis, IN 2 June 1996
