Ingredients You’ll Need
(Serves 4)
8 oz dried chipped beef (like Hormel or Buddig)
4 tbsp (½ stick) unsalted butter
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 cups whole milk, warmed slightly
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste (go light on salt—beef is already salty!)
8 slices bread, toasted (white, sourdough, or Texas toast work well)
💡 Pro Tip: Look for thin-sliced dried beef in the refrigerated meat section—not beef jerky!
