Here’s a classic Chipped Beef Dip recipe—rich, creamy, and perfect as a hearty appetizer or sandwich filling.
Chipped Beef Dip
Servings: 4–6
Ingredients
- 8 oz dried beef (chipped beef), sliced into bite-sized pieces
- 3 tbsp butter
- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk (whole or 2%)
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp garlic powder (optional)
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce (optional, for depth)
- 4–6 hoagie rolls, toasted (or crackers for dipping)
Instructions
- Prepare beef
- Rinse dried beef under cold water to remove excess salt. Pat dry and slice into bite-sized pieces.
- Make the roux
- In a medium skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
- Stir in flour and cook 1–2 minutes until bubbly and lightly golden.
- Add milk
- Gradually whisk in milk, ensuring no lumps form.
- Cook until sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
- Add beef & seasonings
- Stir in chopped beef, black pepper, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce.
- Simmer 2–3 minutes until beef is heated and sauce is creamy.
- Serve
- Spoon warm dip onto toasted hoagie rolls for sandwiches or serve with crackers as a dip.
Pro Tips
- Saltiness: Chipped beef is salty, so taste before adding extra salt.
- Extra creamy: Stir in a little shredded cheddar or cream cheese for a richer dip.
- Spice it up: Add a pinch of cayenne or hot sauce for a kick.
- Make-ahead: Prepare sauce in advance; reheat gently on the stove before serving.
If you want, I can also provide a slow cooker version of chipped beef dip that’s hands-off and keeps the sauce warm for parties.
