Chipped Beef on Toast

This is a quick, delicious, and filling recipe (not to mention starchy!). I always have a couple cans of dried beef in my pantry, so this is always a great last minute meal because I always have all the ingredients.

1 can dried beef
3 TB butter or margarine
3 TB all purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt (taste first)
dash pepper
1 1/2 c milk
4-6 pieces of toast

Open dried beef. Cut into small, bite size squares. Set aside.

In a small saucepan melt butter or margarine. Stir in flour and pepper. Stir in milk all at once. Cook and stir over medium heat till tickened and bubbly. Makes 1 1/2 c of sauce. Stir in dried beef. Taste. Add salt if needed (the dried beef is pretty salty as is. If it is too salty, rinse it before cutting it up).

Serve over warm pieces of toast.
