Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz dried beef or roast beef deli lunchmeat see notes
  • 2 T butter
  • 2 T all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ c milk
  • Pepper to taste if using roast beef lunchmeat, you may need to add a ¼ t of salt to taste
  • 4 slices of white bread toasted

Instructions
 

  • Rinse the dried beef in cold water and pat it dry. (Skip this step if using deli lunchmeat.)
  • Roughly chop the beef into bite-size pieces. Set aside.
  • Add the butter to a skillet over medium-high heat. Allow to fully melt.
  • Add the dried beef to the pan and cook for 2 minutes. Stir often, until the edges curl slightly. Turn the heat down to medium
  • In a separate bowl, whisk the flour with the milk until combined.
  • Pour the flour/milk mixture into the hot pan while whisking continuously.
  • Simmer until the roux thickens, about five minutes.
  • Serve hot over toast and add pepper to taste.

Notes

  • You can buy dried beef in a jar, or you can purchase something such as Carl Buddig’s original beef lunch meat.
  • Storage tips: Keep leftover cream chip beef in an airtight container for up to four days chilled in the refrigerator. 
  • Reheating tips: Reheat in a glass or porcelain container in the microwave, covered, starting at 30 seconds on high for ½ cup of leftover gravy.
