Classic Creamed Chipped Beef
Prep time: 5 mins | Cook time: 10 mins | Servings: 2-4
Ingredients
-
The Beef: 1 jar (2.25 oz) dried beef (like Armor or Buddig brands).
Pro Tip: Dried beef is very salty. Rinse it under cold water and pat dry before chopping to keep the salt levels in check.
-
The Roux: 2 tbsp unsalted butter and 2 tbsp all-purpose flour.
-
The Sauce: 1 ½ cups whole milk (warmed slightly helps prevent lumps).
-
The Seasoning: A pinch of black pepper and a dash of Worcestershire sauce. (You likely won’t need extra salt!)
-
The Base: 4 slices of thick, sturdy white bread, toasted and buttered.
