Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4-5 ounces Chipped beef Rinse if too salty.
  • 2-3 tablespoons Butter Margarine can be used as a substitute.
  • 2-3 tablespoons All-purpose flour Can use gluten-free flour blend.
  • 2 cups Milk Whole milk for a richer sauce.
  • to taste none Black pepper Essential for flavor.
  • 4 slices Toast, biscuits, or English muffins Any toasted bread works.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. If your chipped beef is super salty, give it a quick rinse, then pat dry. Chop it into bite-sized strips.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter until it bubbles gently.
Cooking
  1. Sprinkle in the flour and whisk for about 1 minute until it looks like a smooth paste.
  2. Pour in the milk slowly while whisking, starting with a splash to avoid lumps.
  3. Stir until sauce thickens, usually 3 to 6 minutes. Adjust thickness with more milk if needed.
  4. Stir in the beef and black pepper. Taste before adding any salt.
Serving
  1. Spoon the creamy chipped beef over hot toast and serve immediately.

Notes

Serve immediately for the best texture. Pair with scrambled eggs or fresh fruit for a complete meal.
