⭐ Creamed Chipped Beef on Toast (SOS)
A beloved American diner-style breakfast made with dried beef simmered in a creamy, buttery white sauce, served over crispy toast.
🛒 Ingredients (Serves 3–4)
For the Creamed Beef
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
2 cups milk (whole milk preferred for creaminess)
1 jar (2.25 oz / ~65g) dried chipped beef, sliced
¼ tsp black pepper
⅛ tsp paprika (optional)
Pinch of nutmeg (optional but delicious)
For Serving
4–6 slices of toasted bread
Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Prepare the Beef
Rinse the chipped beef under warm water to remove excess salt.
Pat dry and slice into thin strips.
2. Make the Roux (Base Sauce)
In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.
Add flour and whisk continuously for 1 minute until smooth and slightly bubbly.
(Do NOT brown it.)
3. Add Milk
Slowly pour in the milk while whisking to avoid lumps.
Cook 3–4 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens.
4. Add Beef + Seasoning
Add sliced chipped beef.
Stir in black pepper and paprika.
Let it simmer for 2–3 minutes until creamy and hot.
Taste before adding salt — chipped beef is already salty.
5. Serve
Spoon the hot creamy beef mixture generously over toasted bread slices.
Garnish with parsley if you like.
🍽️ Serving Ideas
Serve over English muffins
Spoon over biscuits
Pair with fried or scrambled eggs
Add peas or sautéed mushrooms for extra flavor
