The Pioneer Woman Creamed Chipped Beef Recipe is a classic comfort dish loved by many families. It is creamy, savory and very filling.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces dried chipped beef chopped
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 4 slices bread toasted
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley optional garnish
Instructions
Prepare the Beef
- Remove chipped beef from the package. Chop it into small bite-size pieces. If the beef tastes very salty, rinse it quickly under cold water and pat dry.
Melt the Butter
- Place a medium skillet over medium heat. Add butter and allow it to melt slowly. Stir gently so the butter coats the pan evenly.
Make the Roux
- Add flour to the melted butter. Stir continuously with a wooden spoon. Cook the mixture for about one minute until it becomes smooth and slightly golden.
Add the Milk
- Slowly pour milk into the skillet while stirring constantly. Continue stirring to prevent lumps. The sauce will slowly become thicker and smooth.
Add the Chipped Beef
- Add the chopped chipped beef into the creamy sauce. Stir well so the meat spreads evenly throughout the sauce. Let the mixture simmer gently.
Season the Sauce
- Sprinkle black pepper and garlic powder into the skillet. Stir everything together. Let the sauce cook for two to three minutes until thick and creamy.
Serve Over Toast
- Place toasted bread slices on serving plates. Spoon the hot creamed chipped beef mixture over the toast. Garnish with parsley and serve warm.
Notes
- Rinse chipped beef briefly if it tastes too salty.
- Stir the sauce constantly to prevent lumps.
- Use whole milk for a richer creamy sauce.
- Add a little extra milk if the sauce becomes too thick.
- Toast the bread well so it stays crisp.
- Add a pinch of paprika for extra flavor.
