Make this classic, quick comfort food featuring dried chipped beef in a simple white gravy served over toasted bread.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 cup dried chipped beef, shredded or chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Pinch of salt (taste first, beef is salty)
  • 4 slices bread, toasted

Instructions

  1. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Whisk in the flour and cook for one minute, stirring constantly to make a roux.
  3. Gradually whisk in the milk until the mixture is smooth.
  4. Continue cooking, stirring often, until the sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 5 to 7 minutes. Do not let it boil rapidly.
  5. Stir in the chipped beef and black pepper. Heat through for about 2 minutes. Taste and add a small pinch of salt if needed.
  6. Spoon the creamed beef mixture evenly over the four slices of toast. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • You can use evaporated milk mixed with water for the milk if fresh milk is unavailable.
  • For a richer flavor, substitute half of the milk with heavy cream.
  • If you prefer a thinner gravy, add a splash more milk after the sauce has thickened.
