A classic comfort food recipe featuring a creamy, savory sauce with dried chipped beef served over toasted bread. Quick, easy, and nostalgic, perfect for cozy meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ounces dried chipped beef, chopped into small pieces
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups whole milk, warmed slightly
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
  • Pinch of salt
  • 4 slices white or wheat sandwich bread, toasted

Instructions

  1. Chop the dried chipped beef into small pieces, about ¼ inch size. Toast the bread slices until golden and set aside.
  2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter, being careful not to brown it.
  3. Sprinkle in 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and stir constantly with a whisk for about 2 minutes until bubbly and pale golden.
  4. Slowly pour in 2 cups of warm whole milk while whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Continue whisking until the sauce thickens and becomes smooth, about 5 minutes. Add more milk if too thick.
  5. Stir in the chopped dried beef and cook for another 2-3 minutes to warm through and meld flavors. Add freshly ground black pepper and a pinch of salt if needed.
  6. Serve immediately by spooning the creamy chipped beef mixture generously over the toasted bread.

Notes

Warm the milk before adding to the roux to prevent lumps. Chop the beef finely to avoid chewy bits. Use medium heat to avoid burning the butter or flour. Add salt sparingly due to the saltiness of the dried beef. If sauce gets lumpy, whisk vigorously or strain. Toast bread while making sauce to save time.
