Creamed Chipped Beef on Toast
Creamed chipped beef in a creamy white sauce over toast. A timeless, savory and comforting dish that’s easy to make at home for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
Ingredients
- 8 oz dried beef jar or packet, chopped into pieces
- 2 Tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 Tbsp all‑purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream optional, for extra richness
- Pepper to taste
- 4 ‑6 slices of bread toasted
Instructions
Step 1: Melt Butter & Make Roux
- In a skillet or saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add flour and whisk to combine. Cook for about 1‑2 minutes, stirring, until the flour loses its raw taste.
Step 2: Add Liquids
- Slowly whisk in the milk, then heavy whipping cream (if using). Stir constantly to avoid lumps. Bring mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Step 3: Season & Thicken
- Add pepper to taste. Continue whisking until sauce thickens to your desired consistency — it should coat the back of a spoon but still be pourable.
Step 4: Stir in Dried Beef
- Add the chopped dried beef to the sauce. Reduce heat slightly and cook for another 3‑5 minutes, stirring occasionally, so the beef warms through and flavors meld.
Step 5: Toast the Bread & Serve
- While sauce is finishing, toast your bread slices to a golden crisp. Spoon the creamed chipped beef generously over each piece of toast. Serve immediately.
