Creamed Chipped Beef is a classic American comfort dish featuring tender, bite-sized slices of dried beef simmered in a rich and creamy white sauce made with butter, flour, milk, and seasonings. Perfectly spiced with black pepper and a hint of cayenne, this savory dish is traditionally served over toasted bread or biscuits, making it a hearty breakfast or brunch favorite.

Ingredients

Scale

Beef

  • 8 ounces Buddig original beef, sliced into bite-size pieces

Sauce

  • ¼ cup butter
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
  • 2 pinches ground cayenne pepper
  • 2 cups milk
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the beef: Slice the Buddig original beef into bite-size pieces to ensure even cooking and ease of eating.
  2. Melt butter and form roux: In a skillet over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Whisk in the all-purpose flour and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring constantly, to create a smooth roux and cook out the raw flour taste.
  3. Add spices and milk: Sprinkle in the black pepper and cayenne pepper, then slowly whisk in the milk, continuing to whisk until the sauce is smooth, creamy, and begins to thicken.
  4. Simmer with beef: Add the sliced beef to the sauce and let it simmer gently for 3 to 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the beef to warm through.
  5. Season and serve: Taste the creamed chipped beef and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as desired. Serve piping hot over toasted bread, eggs, hash browns, or biscuits for a traditional presentation.

Notes

  • Using Buddig original beef provides the characteristic texture and flavor; other dried beef or chipped beef products can be substituted if desired.
  • For a richer sauce, you can substitute half-and-half or whole milk instead of regular milk.
  • This dish pairs beautifully with breakfast favorites such as scrambled or fried eggs and crispy hash browns.
  • To make it gluten-free, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend for the roux.
