My daddy was a pretty good cook. He would make the turkey, beans, and stews, and he was the sole griller in the family. But when he had weeknight dinner duty, chipped beef gravy and biscuits was one of his go to items. Technically, you could probably make this for breakfast, I guess. I just have never eaten it for breakfast, so now my daughter associates this with dinner too. And to save you any trouble - if you already know how to make a white gravy, you can stop reading. Just add some shredded chipped beef to your gravy, and make some biscuits and you're done. lol But if you're a newbie, read on, and I hope you enjoy this quick 15 minute dinner as much as we do!
Butter (3-5 Tbsps)
Flour (1/4 to 1/2 cup)
Milk (2-3 cups)
Jar of dried beef
Biscuits of your choice (I'm still a Bisquick girl)
First things first. Get your biscuits ready to cook. Whether you're using canned biscuits, frozen biscuits, Bisquick biscuits, or homemade, get them prepped and on a baking sheet ready to go in. This really is pretty easy and quick, so you'll need to know when to put your biscuits in the oven and have them ready to go.
Begin by melting several tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over med-high heat. While the butter melts, open your jar of dried beef and start shredding it.
Then you'll want to add enough milk to cover the bottom of the skillet, and then whisk, whisk, whisk to make it smooth and get out any lumps. This will thicken rather quickly, because you are clearly not at the right milk ratio for the butter and flour you've used.
Keep adding milk a little at a time and whisking until your mixture is smooth. Reduce heat to med-low and simmer, stirring frequently. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Add your dried beef and spread it throughout using a spoon. Serve over warm, fresh biscuits, and enjoy!
