Ingredients

Scale

Cream Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups warm milk

Additional Ingredients

  • 1 (8 ounce) jar dried beef, chopped
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper
  • Bread, toasted (to serve)

Instructions

  1. Gather Ingredients: Collect all necessary ingredients to have them ready for preparation.
  2. Melt Butter and Make Roux: In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Add the all-purpose flour and whisk continuously until the mixture is smooth and combined to create a roux.
  3. Add Milk Gradually: Slowly add the warm milk to the roux a little at a time, whisking well after each addition to prevent lumps. Increase heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring frequently until the sauce thickens.
  4. Add Dried Beef and Seasoning: Stir the chopped dried beef and a pinch of cayenne pepper into the thickened sauce. Continue cooking until the beef is warmed through evenly.
  5. Serve: Spoon the creamed chipped beef mixture over hot toasted bread and serve immediately for a comforting meal.

Notes

  • Use warm milk to help the sauce thicken smoothly without lumps.
  • Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to suit your preferred spice level.
  • Toast the bread to your desired crispness before serving for the best texture contrast.
  • This dish is best served fresh and hot to enjoy the creamy consistency.
