CREAMED CHIPPED BEEF ON TOAST
A classic creamed chipped beef on toast — tender slices of dried beef in a creamy white sauce served over toasted bread. Quick, comforting, and perfect for breakfast or a simple dinner.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 6 oz dried beef (chipped), rinsed and chopped Rinse briefly to remove excess salt, pat dry, then chop into bite-size pieces
- 2 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoon all-purpose flour For thickening the sauce
- 2.5 cup whole milk Warm slightly for smoother sauce
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon kosher salt Adjust to taste — dried beef can be salty, so add sparingly
- 8 slices bread, toasted White or wheat, toasted to preference
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Rinse the dried beef under cold water to remove excess salt, then pat dry with paper towels and chop into bite-size pieces.
- In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt the butter until foaming but not browned.
- Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 to 2 minutes to form a roux, stirring constantly to avoid browning.
- Gradually pour in the warm milk while whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens, about 4 to 6 minutes.
- Stir in the chopped dried beef and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes so the flavors meld. Season with black pepper and salt to taste.
- Place toasted bread slices on plates and spoon the creamed chipped beef over each slice. Serve immediately while hot.
Notes
Serve with a side of scrambled eggs or sautéed greens for a fuller meal. Leftover sauce stores in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days—reheat gently and add a splash of milk if it thickens too much.
