Ingredients Needed
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups warm milk (12 oz)
- 1 (8-ounce) jar dried beef, chopped
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper
- Bread, toasted
How To Make Creamed Chipped Beef
- Melt Butter: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
- Make Roux: Add the flour and whisk until smooth.
- Add Milk: Gradually pour in the warm milk, whisking after each addition. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens.
- Stir in Beef & Cayenne: Add the chopped dried beef and cayenne pepper, cooking until the beef is heated through.
- Serve: Spoon the creamy beef mixture over toasted bread and enjoy immediately.
Recipe Tips
- Use Warm Milk: Make sure the milk is warm when adding it to the butter and flour mixture. This helps the sauce thicken faster and evenly.
- Don’t Skip Whisking: Stir the flour and butter mixture constantly to avoid lumps. Whisking helps make the sauce smooth and creamy.
- Adjust Thickness: If the sauce gets too thick, add a little more warm milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Toast the Bread Well: Toast the bread until it’s golden and crispy. This will help prevent the bread from becoming soggy once you add the creamy beef mixture.
- Season to Taste: Feel free to adjust the cayenne pepper and add more seasoning if you prefer a spicier or more flavorful dish.
How To Store & Reheat Leftovers
- Refrigerate: Store leftovers creamed chipped beef in a container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Reheating: Heat leftovers creamed chipped beef in a pan over low heat for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until warmed through. Add a splash of milk if the sauce is too thick.
