Creamed Chipped Beef on Toast
This cherished chipped beef recipe hails from my mother and is affectionately referred to as SOS (Same Ole Stuff). It is a quintessential comfort food that is simple to prepare and pairs perfectly with a refreshing cold beer.
Ingredients
- Dried beef chopped (1 jar, 8 ounces)
- Butter 2 tablespoons
- All-purpose flour 2 tablespoons
- Warm milk 1 ½ cups
- Cayenne pepper a pinch
- Bread toasted
Instructions
- Begin by assembling all necessary ingredients.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, add the flour and whisk until the mixture is smooth.
- Gradually incorporate the warm milk, adding it slowly and whisking thoroughly after each addition. Increase the heat to medium-high, bringing the mixture to a boil while stirring until it thickens.
- Fold in the chopped dried beef and cayenne pepper, cooking until the beef is heated through.
- Serve the creamy mixture generously over the toasted bread.
Notes
Recipe Tip: This dish can also be prepared using 3/4 pound of browned and drained hamburger meat, offering a hearty alternative to the traditional dried beef.
