The Creamed Dried Beef/Chipped Beef Recipe

• 12 lb dried beef (chipped, available at your grocer's deli counter)
• 12 cup butter
• 1 cup flour
• 3 12 cups milk (I use whole milk and even some heavy cream to make it thick & creamy)
• black pepper (to taste)

1. Melt butter in 2 quart (non-stick) sauce pan or larger.
2. Shred dried beef by hand into small pieces.
3. Add dried beef to melted butter and cook over medium-high heat until edges curl (about 10 minutes but watch carefully-don't burn it).
4. Stir in flour and mix thoroughly.
5. Add milk, reduce heat to medium low and continue stirring frequently until mixture is smooth & bubbly.
6. (Depending on how thick you like it, it may take from 20 minutes to 1 hours to achieve desired consistency).
7. When it's as thick as you'd like, bring to a boil, stirring constantly and boil 1 minute.
8. Remove from heat and serve over toast and/or home fried potatoes.
