Creamed dried beef is another meal I grew up with. Creamed dried beef is the sauce that is typically served over potatoes or toast. I’ve had it both ways and enjoy it. It’s also a filling meal and takes less than an hour. If you do choose to make this meal, you’ll want to rinse your plates if you don’t wash them right away, because when the sauce dries it makes it very hard to clean the plate. Also, the recipe is on the back of a dried beef packet, but we also add strained sweet peas. Dried beef can be found near the refrigerated lunch meat and hotdogs, and is good as a snack on it’s own too.

1. Wash, peel, and cube 5 medium potatoes (about 5 cups). Place in a sauce pan, rinse again, and cover with an inch of additional water. Boil until cooked approx. 25 minutes, or until you stab it with a fork and the potato splits completely in half.
2. After 10 minutes, melt 4 Tbsp of butter in a large frying pan. Cut the dried beef into squares, add to butter, and cook till you see color.
3. Add 4 Tbsp of flour and 2 cups of milk, stir till smooth. Add a can of drained sweet peas. Heat to a boil, stirring carefully, then remove from heat.
4. Strain your potatoes.
5. Scoop out potatoes onto your plate, smash down with a fork, add 1 tbsp of butter in smaller pieces over the top, then top with your creamed dried beef sauce. Salt to taste and enjoy! Caution it will be very hot, especially in the center!
