Kitchen Equipment Needed:

• Large skillet
• Whisk
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Knife and cutting board
• Toaster or toaster oven
• Large spoon or spatula

Ingredients:

• 8 oz dried beef, sliced thin
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 4 cups whole milk
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon paprika (optional, for garnish)
• 8 slices of bread (white, wheat, or your choice), toasted

Directions:

1. Prepare the Dried Beef:
   • Rinse the dried beef under cold water to remove excess salt. Pat it dry with a paper towel.
   • Slice the beef into thin strips or bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
2. Make the Cream Sauce:
   • In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, stir in the flour to form a roux. Cook the roux for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until it is lightly golden and bubbly.
   • Gradually whisk in the milk, continuing to whisk until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps. Increase the heat to medium-high and cook the sauce, stirring constantly, until it thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
   • Add the sliced beef to the cream sauce and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to low and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
3. Prepare the Toast:
   • While the sauce is cooking, toast the bread slices until they are golden and crispy.
4. Serve:
   • Spoon the creamed chipped beef over the toasted bread. Sprinkle with black pepper and, if desired, a pinch of paprika for a touch of color and flavor.
   • Serve immediately, hot and delicious.
