What You Will Need:

  • 1/2 lb. ground beef - Sometimes made with chipped beef
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. pepper
  • 4 tbsp. sifted flour
  • 1 cup evaporated milk
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tbsp. butter
  • 2 Toast - 2 pieces of toasted white bread.

Method:

  • Brown ground beef in its own fat or brown canned dried chip beef in butter
  • Remove excess fat and save for making roux.
  • Season with salt and pepper.

To make a white roux:

  • Place 2 tbsp. reserved fat in double broiler or heavy pan.
  • Slowly add sifted flour, stirring constantly over low heat until blended.
  • Cook for five minutes. Just long enough to take the raw flour taste out. Do not brown.
  • Combine milk and water.
  • Add butter and scald (not burn) in a double broiler or heavy pan.
  • Introduce the roux to the scalded milk mixture, stirring constantly until thoroughly blended.
  • Add meat mixture and cook about 10 minutes, or until desired consistency.
  • Serve on toast.
