This is a very quick recipe to use for Sunday night supper, or it can be served on Saturday morning with grits and eggs.
¼ cup (½ stick) butter
1½ tablespoons all-purpose flour
1½ cups milk
Salt and pepper
2 pounds cooked roast beef, very thinly sliced
Toasted sliced white bread
Preheat the oven to 350°. In a saucepan on low heat combine the butter and flour. Stir and mix to a thick texture. Stir in the milk and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a simmer, stirring often. Place the sliced beef in a 9 × 13-inch casserole dish. Pour the white gravy over the beef. Cover and bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Serve over crisp toast.
Hint: This recipe can be used for chipped ham by simply substituting very thinly sliced ham for the roast beef.
