Make this nostalgic comfort food quickly. You prepare a creamy white gravy with dried chipped beef and serve it over buttered toast for a satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup dried chipped beef, thinly sliced
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups whole milk, warmed
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Pinch of salt (taste first, as beef is salty)
  • 8 slices white bread
  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened (for toast)

Instructions

  1. Toast the bread slices until golden brown. Spread lightly with softened butter and set aside.
  2. In a medium saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
  3. Whisk in the flour to create a roux. Cook, stirring constantly, for one minute. Do not let it brown.
  4. Gradually whisk in the warm milk until the mixture is smooth.
  5. Continue cooking, stirring often, until the sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 5 to 7 minutes. This is your white gravy base.
  6. Reduce the heat to low. Add the chipped beef, pepper, and salt (if needed) to the gravy. Stir to combine.
  7. Heat through for 2 minutes, stirring gently. Do not boil after adding the beef.
  8. Spoon the creamed chipped beef mixture generously over the prepared buttered toast slices. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • If you find the beef too salty, soak the slices in warm water for 10 minutes before using, then drain well.
  • For a richer flavor, use half-and-half instead of milk.
  • You can serve this over biscuits or crackers instead of toast for variation.
