🥪 Creamed Chipped Beef on Toast

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Beef

If using dried beef, rinse briefly under cold water to remove excess salt, then pat dry and chop into bite-sized pieces.

2. Make the Roux

In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the flour and whisk constantly for 1–2 minutes until lightly golden — this forms your roux.

3. Add Milk

Gradually pour in the milk while whisking to avoid lumps. Cook until the sauce thickens, about 3–5 minutes.

4. Add Beef and Seasoning

Stir in the chopped beef and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning — be careful with salt since the beef is naturally salty.

5. Toast the Bread

While the sauce simmers, toast your bread slices until golden brown and slightly crisp.

6. Serve

Ladle the creamy chipped beef over the toast slices. Serve immediately while warm.

💡 Tips & Variations

• Creamier texture: use half-and-half instead of milk for a richer sauce.

• Make ahead: sauce can be prepared a day in advance and reheated gently.

• Extra flavor: sprinkle a little paprika or fresh parsley on top for garnish.

• Low-carb option: serve over sautéed spinach or zucchini noodles instead of toast.
