This is a good basic recipe for chipped beef. I added a little bit of garlic powder, fresh ground black pepper and a sprinkle of paprika. I also put in a can of LeSeur baby peas. (my mother always added that when I was a kid, and I just have to have peas in my chipped beef!) I soaked my beef a couple of times before I added it to the sauce. It wasn't salty at all.

This is a good basic recipe which I tweaked a bit. Instead of using bacon, I used pancetta (Italian bacon). I also added some finely diced onions to the frying pan when I was frying up the pancetta. Then, after the pancetta was nice and crispy, I added a few tablespoons of red wine to deglaze the pan. It added a nice deeper flavor. I also added a cup of frozen peas. Other than that, I followed the recipe. It's a good base recipe. I also recommend using fresh grated parmesan, not Kraft shake cheese. Regiano is the most flavorful, but any parm will do.

Loved this recipe. My changes...I used fresh broccoli which I blanched first. I also added diced ham and a can of diced, cooked potatoes. I also didn't have any Ritz crackers and I used some sauteed panko bread crumbs on top. It came out great! I was really surprised just how good this recipe came out!
