Here’s a classic, comforting Creamed Chipped Beef recipe — simple, creamy, and perfect served over toast for that nostalgic diner-style meal.
🥄 Creamed Chipped Beef
🛒 Ingredients
-
4 oz dried chipped beef, sliced into bite-sized pieces
-
3 tablespoons butter
-
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
-
2 cups milk (whole or 2%)
-
Salt and black pepper to taste
-
½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
-
Toast or biscuits, for serving
👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Soften the chipped beef
Rinse chipped beef briefly under warm water to remove excess salt if desired. Pat dry.
2️⃣ Make the roux
In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Whisk in flour and cook 1–2 minutes, stirring constantly, until bubbly and lightly golden.
3️⃣ Add milk slowly
Gradually whisk in milk, ensuring no lumps form. Keep stirring and cook until the sauce thickens (about 3–5 minutes).
4️⃣ Add the beef
Stir in chipped beef, garlic powder (if using), and season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer 2–3 minutes until heated through.
5️⃣ Serve
Spoon over warm toast, biscuits, or even fried potatoes.
💡 Tips
-
Don’t skip rinsing if you want a less salty dish.
-
Use whole milk or a mix with cream for richer sauce.
-
For a twist, add a pinch of paprika or a dash of hot sauce.
