Creamed Chipped Beef

American Breakfast Recipes

1 3-oz. package chipped beef (dried beef) 2 Tbsp. flour 2 Tbsp. butter 2 c. milk noodles or toast

Chop chipped beef (also known as dried beef). In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add beef. Cook 5 minutes. (Grandma says "until it's frizzled..") Sprinkle flour over beef, one tablespoon at a time. Stir to blend. Slowly add milk. Cook over low heat until thickened. Serve over toast or over noodles. This dish is sometimes somewhat colorfully known as sh** on a shingle when served over toast. Notwithstanding, it's a family favorite.
