Airehead Posted March 5, 2020 Share #1 Posted March 5, 2020 I am really wanting cream chip beef on toast. I can make a white sauce no issue but I have no idea about what beef to use. Do you have a recommendation? I haven’t had chipped beef probably since the 70’s when I ate it with my grandfather and felt special. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Further Posted March 5, 2020 Share #2 Posted March 5, 2020 I found myself thinking about this a week or so ago. Haven't had it in ages, probably 50 years. Pretty sure you use dried beef, like the packaged lunch meat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longjohn ★ Posted March 5, 2020 Share #5 Posted March 5, 2020 I have never looked for chipped beef but when my mom made it it was packed in a glass and found next to the canned meat in the grocery aisle. Might also find it with packaged lunch meat. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is available in most grocery stores and is not quite as salty or dry as some of the other brands of dried beef. You will find it with the other prepackaged luncheon meats https://www.smalltownwoman.com/creamed-chipped-beef/ On the other hand, in the navy we had something they called creamed dried beef. It was more like the sausage gravy that is served on biscuits down south. IMO it was hamburger in the same creme sauce with quite a bit of pepper. I loved it as a working breakfast on top of home fries with scrambled eggs, sausage links, toast w jelly, juice, coffee and sometimes a bit of fruit. Note. You do not eat a lunch after having this breakfast, you work all day. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickinMD ★ Posted March 5, 2020 Share #7 Posted March 5, 2020 Once I was looking for Esskay Creamed Chipped Beef in a refrigerated bag that's often found hanging on a hook in some corner of the meat sections of the supermarket and it turned out to be Esskay Chipped Beef. If I was going to go to the trouble of making the Bechamel (White) Sauce myself, thats' where I'd look. You can get Esskay Creamed Chipped Beef in a refrigerated bag that's good and Stouffer's in a frozen bag-in-a-box that's very good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddmaxx ★ Posted March 6, 2020 Share #9 Posted March 6, 2020 No one in my family will touch the stuff so when I get an occasional urge I just buy this and fake it. It's actually pretty good, but I suspect the salt content is sort of high. It's in a bag that you either microwave or boil. I recommend boiling. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whew, that has about 3 days of sodium in it for me. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed. My Pop pop loved it. He lived to 103 and died of a broken heart six months after my Mamaw passed. She made it for him. I would do anything he did. So we enjoyed a special treat together. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I never felt hungry mid day with that Bfast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The entire container has 1350 mg Na, which is about 60% the current "recommended" amount, though a recent study claimed those consuming less than 3500 to 5000 mg do not live as long as those who do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which can also be interpreted as “people placed on a cardiac, low-salt diet die before people not requiring one”. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
