Ingredients

• 4 ounces dried chipped beef

• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

• Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

How to Make Creamed Chipped Beef on Toast

Step 1: Prepare the Beef

Rinse the dried chipped beef under cold water to remove excess saltiness.
Pat dry with paper towels, then chop into bite-sized pieces.

Step 2: Melt the Butter

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until fully melted and lightly bubbling.

Step 3: Cook the Beef

Add the chopped chipped beef to the melted butter and cook for 1–2 minutes,
just until fragrant and lightly browned.

Step 4: Make the Roux

Sprinkle the flour evenly over the beef and butter. Stir constantly to form a smooth paste.
Cook for about 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 5: Add the Milk

Gradually pour in the milk while stirring continuously to prevent lumps.

Step 6: Season and Thicken

Add black pepper and Worcestershire sauce. Continue cooking, stirring often,
until the sauce thickens to a smooth, creamy consistency.

Step 7: Toast the Bread

Toast slices of bread until golden brown and crisp.

Step 8: Serve

Place toast slices on a plate and generously spoon the creamed chipped beef over the top.
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Tips for the Best Creamed Chipped Beef

• Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days
