Creamed Chipped Beef on Toast (SOS Recipe)

A rich, creamy, old-school favorite made with salty dried beef and buttery white gravy, served over golden toast — perfect for breakfast or a cozy meal anytime.

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons butter

• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

• 2 cups milk (whole milk preferred)

• 1 jar (2.5 oz) dried beef, sliced into bite-sized pieces (rinsed to reduce saltiness)

• ½ teaspoon black pepper

• 4 slices toasted bread (white or your choice)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Cream Base
   In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.
   Whisk in the flour to form a smooth roux. Cook for 1–2 minutes, stirring constantly, until lightly golden (this removes the raw flour taste).

2. Make the Gravy
   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).

3. 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.

4. 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.
