beef chip gravy

I had this at a diner in Pennsylvania and fell in love with it. It's good over toast, home fries, hash browns, baked potatoes, biscuits, and probably pasta.


1 pkg. dried chipped beef
4 T butter
4 T flour
2 1/2 c milk

In skillet, melt 4 tablespoons butter. Break up 1 package dried chipped beef into small pieces. Add beef to butter and stir until browned. Sprinkle flour over beef, mix well. Add 2 1/2 cups milk slowly. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly. Makes 6 servings.

It took me a while to find chipped beef. Not sure where it will be in your grocery store. Might be in the canned meat section or like DE, in the meat section of the store - comes in either a jar or a sealed package.


p.s. No need to add salt - the beef is plenty salty.

I've never heard of dried chipped beef...it sounds interesting and if it's as yummy as it looks maybe we can add it to our rotating food storage :)
