Make this classic comfort food quickly. This recipe delivers creamy, savory chipped beef gravy served over buttered toast, perfect for a fast breakfast or dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 slices sturdy bread (like Texas toast or sourdough)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups whole milk
  • 4 ounces dried chipped beef, thinly sliced or chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Pinch of salt (taste first, as beef is salty)
  • Optional: Dash of Worcestershire sauce
  • Optional: Pinch of nutmeg

Instructions

  1. Toast the bread slices until golden brown. Spread 1 tablespoon of butter evenly over the four slices of toast and set aside.
  2. In a medium saucepan, melt the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
  3. Whisk in the flour to create a roux. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Do not let it brown.
  4. Gradually whisk in the milk until the mixture is smooth. Continue cooking, stirring often, until the sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 5 to 7 minutes. This is your white gravy base.
  5. Add the chopped chipped beef to the gravy. Stir to combine. If the gravy becomes too thick, add a splash more milk.
  6. Season the mixture with black pepper and a small pinch of salt if needed. Add optional Worcestershire sauce or nutmeg now. Heat through for 1 minute.
  7. Spoon the creamed chipped beef mixture generously over the buttered toast slices. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use half-and-half instead of all milk.
  • If you are planning your week, this recipe is much faster than relying on meal planning services.
  • You can serve this over biscuits instead of toast for a variation often called S.O.S.
