5 ingredient Chipped Beef Recipe

The Good Old Days

Ingredients

• 1 (5 oz.) jar dried chipped beef

• 3 1/2 cups half-and-half (or milk or cream)

• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

• 1/3 cup unsalted butter

• freshly ground pepper, to taste

Directions

1. Melt butter in a large pan over medium-high heat.

2. Tear chipped beef into small pieces and add it to the butter.

3. Cook beef for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges begin to curl. The meat will release some of its salt as it cooks.

4. Gradually add flour to the pan, stirring until a thick paste forms.

5. Pour in half-and-half and reduce heat to medium-low. Continue stirring until thick and creamy.

6. Cook for at least 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until desired consistency is reached.

7. Toast 4-6 pieces of bread and set aside.

8. Once desired thickness is reached, bring sauce back up to a boil and whisk vigorously for 1 minute.

9. Taste and season with pepper (salt is probably unnecessary) and place a combination of beef and sauce over toast.

10. Serve immediately and enjoy.
