Cream Chipped Beef

Cream Chipped beef on toast takes me right back to my childhood, even if my dad did call it something different lol. This is seriously the cheapest and easiest breakfast I can think of, I guarantee you already have all but one of the ingredients =]

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
• 1 1/2 cups milk 
• ground pepper
• 1 (4.5-ounce) jar or package of dried beef

Directions:

1. Take out your beef and run it under warm water to rinse some of the saltiness off. Cut beef into strips and set aside.
2. In a large skillet melt the butter and then add flour. Whisk for exactly one minute (it sounds silly but you need to cook out that flour taste)
3. Slowly whisk in milk, if you like the gravy thicker you can you use less milk but remember that it will continue to thicken as it sets. 
4. Once the milk is added, throw in the beef strips and season with pepper.
5. Serve over toasted bread or biscuits.

*Also try adding a soft fried egg on top, my dad swears by it!
