Creamed Chipped Beef & Toast

Ingredients

4 tbs Butter

1/3 c Flour (all purpose)

3 c Whole Milk

Cracked Black Pepper, to taste

4.5 oz Dried Beef, sliced

Toasted Texas Toast Bread Slices 

How to make it

Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add butter.

When the butter is melted and begins to bubble add the flour and mix to combine. This makes a roux.

Simmer the roux for 2-3 minutes to cook away the raw flour taste.

Add milk and stir or whisk to combine. This makes a white sauce known as Béchamel. 

Add cracked black pepper and the chipped beef to the white sauce and simmer 3-5 minutes, stirring constantly, until thickened.

Serve over toasted bread (shingles) , biscuits, or hashbrowns.

Cooks Note: No salt was added to the recipe because the dried beef contains enough salt to flavor the dish.
