Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups milk warm
  • 8 oz dried beef chopped or sliced
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper
  • 4 slices toast for serving

Method
 

  1. In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt butter. Whisk in flour all at once to form a smooth roux.
  2. Gradually whisk in warm milk, increasing heat to medium-high. Cook, stirring constantly, until thickened.
  3. Bring mixture to a gentle boil, then stir in dried beef and cayenne pepper.
  4. Heat through for a few minutes until warmed and well combined.
  5. Serve hot over toasted bread slices.

Notes

Rinse dried beef briefly to reduce saltiness if needed. Serve over biscuits or potatoes for variation.
