White sauce, also known as Béchamel is the base for many sauces. Here is the recipe for basic medium white sauce.

I use this recipe to make Chipped Beef on Toast.  I get several packages of chipped beef whenever its on sale.

Creamed Chipped Beef on Toast

Veterans know this meal as SOS. I won’t explain why. I have always used peas in this recipe. I can’t imagine it without them.

  • 5 (2 ounce) packages thinly sliced dried beef
  • 16 oz frozen peas (cooked according to directions)
  • Loaf of bread – homemade is best
  1. Make white sauce above doubled.
  2. Add  chipped beef cut into strips.
  3. Add peas.
  4. Serve over lightly buttered  toast.
