CREAMED CHIPPED BEEF ON TOAST

“My mom used to make this recipe. It can also be made with 3/4 pound browned, drained hamburger. We called it SOS: Same Ole Stuff. Great comfort food! Either recipe is easy to make and tastes great with a cold beer. Serve over toast.”

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 cups warm milk

• 1 (8 ounce) jar dried beef
• 1 pinch cayenne pepper

Directions

1. In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt butter. Whisk in flour all at once to form a roux. Whisk in milk, a little at a time, increase heat to medium-high, and cook, stirring, until thickened. Bring to a boil, stir in beef and cayenne, heat through and serve over toast.
