Cooking Instructions
  1. Begin by gathering all the necessary ingredients for your Creamed Chipped Beef on Toast. Chop the dried beef into bite-sized pieces and set aside. Toast slices of bread or prepare biscuits according to your preference; you want a sturdy base that can hold the rich sauce.
  2. In a medium saucepan, melt ¼ cup of unsalted butter over medium heat until bubbling gently. Sprinkle in ¼ cup of all-purpose flour, stirring continuously for 1-2 minutes until the roux turns a light golden color.
  3. Slowly pour in 2 cups of whole milk while whisking vigorously to avoid lumps. Keep the mixture over medium heat, stirring continuously until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Once your sauce is thickened, stir in black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and a dash of cayenne pepper if desired. Taste and adjust seasonings.
  5. Add the chopped dried beef into the creamy sauce, stirring well to combine. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer gently for about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Once heated through, ladle the creamed chipped beef generously over your toast or biscuits, ensuring to cover them well. Serve while hot.
