Creamed Chipped Beef on Toast

Source of Recipe

Unknown


List of Ingredients

4 Tbs butter
Large jar of Armour dried beef (on the canned meat aisle in the grocery store, comes in a clear jar with a blue lid - comes in two sizes, get the big one)
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 Tbs Worcestershire sauce
1 recipe cream sauce (see below)
4 to 8 slices toasted white bread



Recipe

Melt the butter in a heavy saucepan over moderate heat. Add the chipped beef and Worcestershire sauce and stir to combine. Remove from the heat. Taste for seasoning with salt and pepper - the chipped beef may already be salty enough. Combine with the cream sauce and spoon over toasted white bread. Serves 4.

Cream Sauce

Ingredients:

6 Tbs butter
6 Tbs flour
1 cup beef or chicken broth, or milk
1 cup heavy cream
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
A grating of fresh nutmeg

Directions:

Melt the butter in a heavy saucepan over moderate heat. Stir in the flour and allow to bubble for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the liquids and the seasonings and stir constantly with a whisk until thick and creamy. Makes about 2 cups.
