Recipe - Chipped Beef On Toast

1 Jar armour dried beef
4 tablespoon Flour
4 tablespoon Butter
2 cup Milk
One fourth teaspoon Ground white pepper; (or to
taste)
Grating of fresh nutmeg
Optional: 2 tbs. dry sherry

Remove beef from jar and cut into thin strips. Fluff the pieces so they
don't all stick together in their layers. Put in a bigger lidded jar.

Rinse beef it's way too salty and too stiff by pouring hot water in a
jar with beef, covering with lid and shaking. Drain off and repeat.

Make a Basic White Sauce:

Heat the butter and flour over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it
foams and the flour aroma is gone. Add the milk One half cup at a time, stirring
constantly with a wire whisk or wooden spoon until the sauce boils and
thickens. 

Add the nowdamp beef strips, stirring until the sauce is smooth. If too
thick, add more milk, and if too thin, keep heating and stirring. Taste for
seasoning. You usually don't need any salt.

Pour over toast and eat with a knife and fork.

NOTES : This is my recipe I patterned it after Stouffer's frozen Creamed
