Ingredients
For the Chipped Beef Gravy:
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 cups milk
• 1 jar (2.5 oz) chipped beef, rinsed and chopped
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper
• ¼ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
For the Flour Dumplings:
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup milk
• 1 tablespoon butter, melted
For the Potatoes:
• 3 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
• ½ teaspoon salt
• Water (for boiling)
Instructions
Prepare the Potatoes:
1. In a pot, cover the cubed potatoes with water, add salt, and bring to a boil. Cook until fork-tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain and keep warm.
Make the Dumplings:
2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. Add milk and melted butter, stirring until a soft dough forms.
4. Bring a pot of salted water to a gentle boil. Drop teaspoon-sized pieces of dough into the water and cook for 5-7 minutes, until they float and are cooked through. Remove and set aside.
Cook the Chipped Beef Gravy:
5. In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
6. Slowly whisk in the milk, stirring constantly until thickened.
7. Add the chopped chipped beef, black pepper, and garlic powder. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until warmed through.
Assemble & Serve:
8. Plate the dumplings and boiled potatoes. Pour the chipped beef gravy over the top and serve warm.
Notes
• For extra flavor, sauté the chipped beef in butter before adding it to the sauce.
• If the gravy is too thick, add a splash of milk to loosen it.
• Serve with toast or biscuits for a heartier meal.
