Here’s a classic, comforting recipe for Creamed Chipped Beef—a creamy, savory dish that’s perfect over toast, potatoes, or rice 🍽️✨
🥩 Ingredients (Serves 4)
- 8 oz (225 g) dried beef, chipped or sliced thin
- 3 tbsp butter
- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk (whole or 2%)
- Salt & black pepper to taste
- Optional: pinch of nutmeg or garlic powder
- Toast, mashed potatoes, or rice for serving
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Prepare the Beef
- Rinse chipped beef under cold water to reduce saltiness
- Pat dry and roughly chop into bite-sized pieces
2. Make the Roux
- In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat
- Stir in flour to make a smooth paste
- Cook for 1–2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste
3. Add Milk
- Gradually whisk in milk until smooth
- Cook until mixture thickens (about 5–7 minutes)
4. Add the Chipped Beef
- Stir in chopped beef
- Simmer for 3–5 minutes until heated through
- Season with black pepper, and optional nutmeg or garlic powder
5. Serve
- Spoon over warm toast for a classic “SOS” style meal
- Or serve over mashed potatoes or rice for a hearty option
💡 Tips
- Use low-sodium or soaked beef to control salt
- Adjust milk for desired creaminess
- Top with fresh herbs like parsley for a fresh touch
This dish is rich, comforting, and nostalgic, perfect for a quick breakfast, brunch, or cozy dinner 😋
I can also give you a lighter version with less cream and more veggies if you want a healthier twist.
Do you want me to do that?
