My cousin used to make this for dinner sometimes and I was really happy to find this recipe. I think it was good, a little salty, but good. I will follow other reviewers recommendations next time and soak the beef a little to tame the saltiness a bit!

This is some serious comfort food. So easy to make. My one reccomendation is to soak the beef, because it was a tad bit saltly. Otherwise, perfect breakfast for a cloudly Sunday. Made J.P.'s Big Daddy Biscuits (from this site) with it.

Just like my mom taught me to make it. I just rinse the dried beef under hot water (my mom always did it a few times, she had to watch salt intake) to remove a little of the salt. I like it over leftover mashed potatoes or biscuits - noodles are good too.

Just like mom used to make! I added a bit more flour though just to thicken it up a bit.

We loved this, so easy and good. I did soak the chipped beef in water first, to get some of the saltiness out, and it worked perfectly. Great recipe!

Loved this recipe. I did soak the dried beef in water first.. otherwise, it would have been a bit too salty. Thats the only reason I gave it a 4 and not 5 stars. We make this one often. Thanks!

Comfort Food! Once I got the roux down (it took 2 tries), it was fantastic. I added the ceyenne pepper, seasoned salt and cracked black pepper. We used the Budding Luncheon Meat. Served it on toasted potato bread buns. I bet it would be great on biscuts! The boys scarfed them down faster than I could serve them. Goes down well with a BIG glass of cold MILK!

This was so simple and so good. I used the Budding sliced beef and it was not salty at all. My husband liked it alot. I made to much so we were going to have leftovers the next day for lunch - BIG mistake because this does not reheat well at all, The sauce gets lumpy. Very good and simple recipe / Thank you for sharing !!

I remember my mom making this on occasion growing up. I did rinse the chipped beef to try and reduce some of the saltiness. I also used kitchen shears to cut down the time it takes to chop the beef. This was good but not nearly as good as I remembered it. Since the SODIUM is OUT OF THIS WORLD I probably won't make it again for another 20 years! Personally, the USMC SOS recipe was much better tasting that was made with ground beef.

Totally what I was looking for, a taste from my past. I didn't add the cayenne pepper, an used shaved lunch meat not dried. Wasn't salty at all, added pepper to my portion to keep it mild for the kiddos.

This recipe is entirely too salty as written. I had to throw it away. We couldn't eat it. Do not use dried beef in a jar. Maybe package from cold cut department would be ok.

I grew up adding the beef as soon as the white sauce was started! Maybe thats why it never tasted salty to me or anyone else who has ate it since its soaked in the "gravy" for a little while. I also add lots of shredded cheese and make the sauce cheesy. My family absolutely loves this. Cheap and easy meal.

Fantastic, my husband loved it. Just what I was looking for. I mixed about 2/3 of the milk and the rest was cream. Also a great base to add extra's to taste

I had left over corned beef from a brisket I had made and used this instead of the jar beef. I used the food processor and chopped it all up. I made a double batch for 2 teenage boys. I warmed the milk in the microwave first for 5 mins that way it doesn't scald and makes it faster to make. I also warmed the meat in the microwave for 2 mins. I also added a pinch of garlic salt because it was too bland for my taste. While the milk was in the microwave I made the butter flour mixture, and when the meat was in the microwave I did the toast and then put the meat in the sauce and it was done in 10 minutes. Very easy and fast and the kids ate it all!!!

Doubled the recipe and just used 2-4 oz. jars and it was fine. I rinsed only one jar and was just right for salt. Family loved it.

Recently, I found myself craving this recipe although I hadn't eaten it since my early childhood. My family of six wasn't exactly poor but we had to make simple meals stretch far so the 'chipped beef' was Land-O-Frost lunchmeat, the toast was English muffins, and seasoning was salt and pepper. I substituted those same ingredients again and this recipe was still FANTASTIC! Tasted exactly how I remembered! Savoring it again tonight took me back over 30 yrs., when us four kids were madly lapping it up and fighting for seconds (and thirds)! THANK YOU for the yummy recipe and wonderful walk down memory lane.

Yup, this is my grandmother's and my mother's recipe before her, although, we don't use an 8 oz jar of beef. For this much sauce, a 2.5 oz jar is more than sufficient for us, and helps keep it less salty overall. For the poster who was wondering was additional spice could be added ... the secret is always nutmeg. A SMIDGE only, not more than that, lends a nutty spice to this dish, much like it does to Alfredo sauce. I made this tonight and served it over toast cubes. We've also made this and served it over toasted stale rolls. it's also quite good over crushed breadsticks.
