Creamed Chipped Beef (Lower Sodium) image

This version of the old standby gets a little extra flavor from chicken broth and parsley. Soaking the beef reduces the sodium content to quite a bit less than the Nutrition Facts indicate. Serve over your favorite biscuits, or toast will do in a pinch.

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (4 1/2 ounce) jar dried beef (I use Armour brand)
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/4 cup flour
1 cup fat-free low-sodium chicken broth
2 cups 2% low-fat milk
1 tablespoon dried parsley

Steps:

  • Cut or tear dried beef into small pieces. Soak dried beef pieces in very hot water for 10-15 minutes to remove excess salt. Drain, squeezing out as much water as possible.
  • Meanwhile, stir up your favorite baking powder biscuits and get them in the oven.
  • Melt the butter in a 2-quart saucepan. When the butter is bubbly, add the flour and stir constantly for 2-3 minutes to cook the flour.
  • Add broth and milk. Continue to stir constantly until sauce thickens.
  • Lower heat. Add parsley and drained, dried beef. Stir until heated through.
  • Take your biscuits out of the oven and split 2 or 3 onto each plate. Spoon on the Creamed Chipped Beef. Goes great with a green salad or green vegetable.
