Creamed Chipped Beef on Toast
When you’re in the mood for something comforting and quick, Creamed Chipped Beef on Toast is the perfect go-to dish. This one has been in our family for years, and we affectionately call it “SOS”—Same Ole Stuff. It’s hearty, creamy, and so easy to make. I can whip it up in no time, and it always fills me up and brings back fond memories. If you’ve never had it, you’re in for a treat!
What Is Chipped Beef?
Chipped beef is simply dried and salted beef, usually sold in glass jars. You might think it’s an unusual ingredient, but it’s exactly what gives this dish its signature flavor. Creamed chipped beef is just chipped beef cooked in a creamy sauce, and while it’s sometimes referred to as SOS, it’s also enjoyed as a quick, satisfying meal in many households.
Ingredients for Creamed Chipped Beef on Toast
Here’s what you need to make this simple yet filling dish:
- Unsalted Butter & Flour: These form the base for the creamy sauce.
- Whole Milk: I prefer whole milk for its rich creaminess, but you can use 2% if you prefer.
- Chipped Beef: Typically, I use about 4 jars of dried chipped beef, chopped into small pieces. It’s what gives this dish its savory flavor.
- Fresh Black Pepper: It’s an often overlooked ingredient, but fresh cracked pepper adds the right amount of zing.
- Salt: This is optional. The beef itself is salty, so taste before you add any extra.
- Bread: You’ll want to serve this over something sturdy, like toasted white bread or even English muffins. The sauce needs something that can hold it up.
