Made with thin slices of dried beef in a rich, buttery white sauce and poured over crispy toast, this old-fashioned recipe proves that simple ingredients can create unforgettable flavor.


🧈 Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter

  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour

  • 1½ cups whole milk

  • 1 cup dried chipped beef, sliced or torn into pieces

  • ¼ tsp black pepper

  • Pinch of cayenne (optional)

  • Toasted bread or biscuits, for serving


πŸ‘©‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Prepare the beef:
    Rinse the chipped beef under cold water to remove excess salt. Pat dry and chop into small pieces.

  2. Make the roux:
    In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute until bubbly but not browned.

  3. Add milk:
    Slowly whisk in the milk, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens and becomes smooth (about 3–5 minutes).

  4. Add beef & season:
    Stir in the beef, black pepper, and cayenne. Let simmer for 2–3 minutes until heated through.

  5. Serve:
    Spoon the creamy mixture generously over toast or biscuits. Sprinkle with extra pepper for a classic diner look.


🍳 Tips for the Perfect Creamed Chipped Beef
