½ teaspoon black pepper
4 slices toasted bread (white or your choice)
Instructions:
Prepare the Cream Base
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.

Gradually pour in the milk while whisking to avoid lumps. Continue cooking and whisking until the sauce thickens and becomes creamy (about 5–7 minutes).Add the Beef
Stir in the chopped dried beef and black pepper. Let the mixture simmer for 2–3 minutes to heat the beef and combine flavors.ADVERTISEMENT
Serve It Up
Spoon the hot creamed beef generously over slices of toasted bread. Serve immediately while hot and creamy.
Tips & Variations:
For added flavor, stir in a pinch of onion powder or nutmeg.
Make it heartier by adding cooked chopped eggs or sautéed mushrooms.
Substitute dried beef with chopped ham, bacon, or sausage gravy for a twist.
Storage:
Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently over low heat with a splash of milk to restore creaminess.
