" THE" CREAMED DRIED BEEF/CHIPPED BEEF RECIPE
This is a long-time favorite recipe of our Lancaster County, PA family passed down from my mom. She gets requests for it all the time and has to make double or triple this amount now whenever she makes it so everyone has some to take along home too. For me, it's a true comfort food if there ever was one! We always serve it over toast and/or homefried potatoes. My dad refer's to it as S.O.S. from his days in the service. (Recipe makes about 4 servings for our hungry family but it freezes very well so any leftovers won't go to waste.)

ROB'S FAVORITE CREAMED DRIED BEEF
I prefer to use the dried beef from a local deli - ask to have it paper-thin sliced or chipped. I serve this over toasted wheat bread for my DH but it is also good served over a oven-baked russet potato. I found this recipe in the Fannie Farmer Cookbook.

My mom used to make this recipe. It can also be made with 3/4 pound browned, drained hamburger. We called it SOS: Same Ole Stuff. Great comfort food! Either recipe is easy to make and tastes great with a cold beer. Serve over toast.

Steps:
- 1. Gather all the ingredients together. This dish cooks rather quickly. If you have kids, enlist them to start toasting the English Muffins or bread! Prepare your beef by pulling it apart into shreds.
- 2. Melt the butter in a deep sided non-stick pan. When it begins to get bubbly, add the flour, and continue to stir until the flour is dissolved. Add the dried beef and sautee on low to moderate heat until it begins to darken (about 5-8 minutes).
- 3. Add the milk, and increase to heat to moderate. Cook until it begins to steam, then add the cheese all at once. At this point, you are "get your hands washed, phones off, 5 minutes to eat.."
- 4. Add the paprika and the ground black pepper as the cheese melts, but keep stirring. The sauce will thicken and become rich. Take it off the heat, and either put the whole saucepan on the table or pur it in a large bowl. Serve immediately, it thickens more as it cools! Enjoy!
Tips:
- Use a food processor or blender to finely chop the dried beef. This will help it blend smoothly with the other ingredients.
- If you don't have evaporated milk, you can use whole milk or half-and-half. Just be aware that the sauce may be thinner.
- Add a teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce for a richer flavor.
- Serve the creamed dried beef over toast, biscuits, or mashed potatoes.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
