At its core, it’s just thin slices of dried beef (chipped beef) cooked in a creamy white sauce and served over crispy toast — but it's so much more than that.

This dish was a go-to for busy mornings or after a long day on the farm, and for good reason. It’s filling, easy to make, and uses ingredients that were always on hand. The chipped beef gives it that salty, savory kick, while the creamy sauce brings everything together in a rich, satisfying way. 

Whether you’re making it for breakfast, brunch, or a late-night snack, it always feels like a warm hug.  Chipped beef and toast has that old-school, homestyle vibe that brings back memories of simpler times.

 You can tweak it to your liking with a little garlic, pepper, or even a dash of paprika if you’re feeling fancy. But no matter how you make it, there’s something comforting about sitting down to a bowl of this with a side of toast, knowing it’s been a family favorite for years.

How to Make Chip Beef

Making chipped beef is super easy with just a few ingredients. You’ll need some chipped beef (the thin, salted dried kind), butter, flour, and milk for the creamy sauce. A pinch of salt lots of pepper. 

In a skillet, melt butter and whisk in flour to make a roux. Slowly add the milk, stirring until it thickens into a creamy sauce. Toss in the chipped beef and let it heat through. 

Don’t forget the bread—toast up your favorite loaf, whether it’s white, whole wheat, or sourdough.  Then pour it all over your toasted bread. Simple, warm, and perfect for a cozy meal!

Chipped beef and toast is a homestead classic—simple, comforting, and always satisfying after a long day’s work.
