How to Make Navy Red's O's

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound of ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon into pea-sized pieces, until browned. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, to the skillet. Cook until the onions are softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  3. Sprinkle 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour over the beef and onion mixture. Stir constantly for 1-2 minutes until the flour is fully cooked and no longer tastes raw.
  4. Stir in 1 (14.5 ounce) can of diced tomatoes, undrained, and 1/4 teaspoon of ground mace. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Serve the Red SOS hot over slices of toasted white bread. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley (optional).
