Creamed Chipped Beef

A classic breakfast with chipped beef and rich gravy over toast.

I have always been pretty anti-gravy. However, when I was younger there was one exception: my grandma's chipped beef gravy. I had this recipe saved for so long and finally really had a craving for it and wanted it desperately. It tasted just like how I remembered and Nick and the kids loved it too, so it's definitely something we'll eat often.

What you need:

• Sliced dried beef
• 4 Tbsp. unsalted butter
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 1/2 cups milk
• 1/4 tsp. black pepper
• Pinch of nutmeg
• Toast for serving
  

Directions:

1. Soak beef in hot water for about 10 minutes. Then drain and chop into small pieces.
2. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat.
3. Add beef and saute for 2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
4. Add flour and whisk to form a roux. Cook for 1 minute.
5. Slowly whisk in milk and then increase heat to bring to a simmer.
6. Add beef, pepper, and nutmeg. Simmer to thicken, lower heat if needed to keep from burning.
7. Serve over top of toast.
