When I was growing up my mother made this a lot and sometimes we had it for dinner. I used to do this recipe a long time ago and lately it's been on my mind. It may not seem like "breakfast" fare to you but I sure do love it!
We call it "Creamed Beef"
Basically, you are satueeing 1/2 of an onion, diced with 2-3 T butter. I use light butter but feel free to use what ever you prefer.
You simply sauté your onion until its soft and then add 2-3 T all purpose flour
and stir until it's all incorporated.
Then, slowly add in 1-2 C milk...I use 1%, and whisk constantly until all of the flour is dissolved and the sauce begins to thicken.
Add in 1 package of dried beef that you've sliced thinly or to your liking!
Let simmer until thickened and heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste but be careful because if you used the dried beef in a jar it tends to be salty enough. The dried beef in the package isn't as salty.
Serve over toasted, sourdough english muffins and there you have it! Creamed Beef for Breakfast! What could be better on a chilly morning!
(besides picking up Chick-Fil-A that is!)
Hope everyone has a wonderful Saturday! We are off to a Lacrosse game!
