Notes

You can use any dried beef however Buddig beef works perfect for this recipe. 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
Cook the butter flour mixture (roux) for 2-3 minutes as it helps to cook off the raw flour taste.
Slowly add your milk and whisk continuously until you have a nice smooth sauce.
If the sauce gets too thick add less than a quarter of a cup of milk at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
Season to taste with salt, seasoned salt, fresh ground black pepper, cayenne pepper and even a splash of Worcestershire Sauce.
Creamed Chipped Beef is best served promptly nonetheless it reheats fairly well.
