Fancy Creamed Chipped Beef on Toast

(4 servings) Printable Version

4 Tablespoons (60 ml) butter
1/2 pound (250 g) mushrooms - sliced
6 ounces (170 g) dried chipped beef
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 Tablespoon (15 ml) Worcestershire sauce
1 recipe cream sauce (see below)
4 to 8 slices toasted white bread
Cream Sauce
6 Tablespoons (90 ml) butter
6 Tablespoons (90 ml) all-purpose flour
1 cup (250 ml) beef or chicken broth (or milk)
1 cup (250 ml) heavy cream
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 grating of fresh nutmeg

Melt the butter in a heavy saucepan over moderate heat. Add the mushrooms and saute for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the chipped beef and Worcestershire sauce and stir to combine.

Remove from the heat. Taste for seasoning with salt and pepper - the chipped beef may already be salty enough. Combine with the cream sauce and spoon over toasted white bread.

Cream Sauce:

Melt the butter in a heavy saucepan over moderate heat. Stir in the flour and allow to bubble for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the liquids and the seasonings and stir constantly with a whisk until thick and creamy. Makes about 2 cups (500 ml).

As one commenter described it, this is a bit like a cross between classic creamed chipped beef (S.O.S.) and Chicken a la King (minus the chicken).

Mr Breakfast would like to thank MrsBuckeye for this recipe.

Very close to the S.O.S. my mom used to make. We bookmarked this one and will make it again one day.

This recipe is almost a cross between classic creamed chipped beef, (S.O.S.), and chicken a la king with the mushrooms and stock. Interesting and tasty variation. As for the fat content, if you are going to eat this kind of thing in the first place, you may as well just go for it.

It was exceptionally delicious, it had loads of fat so try using margarine instead of butter.

Made as directed, except I only had 1/4 lb. of dried beef. Very tasty, but loaded with fat. Next time, I think I'll cut my serving size down a bit.

This recipe was delicious. I added adash or two of curry, but that is just my taste. The meal is very good without.

Thank you so much,
