Creamed chipped beef

4.5 oz dried beef
2 cups milk
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup flour
salt and pepper
6 slices bread

Rinse dried beef under cold water to remove excess salt.  Pat dry, then rip up into smaller pieces.  Melt butter in pan.  Add dried beef.  Cook 2-3 minutes until brown.  Add flour and mix with dried beef (it will look pretty dry).  Add milk (reserve 1/4 cup for later), salt, and pepper.  Bring to boi.  Add remaining milk to thin to your desired likeness.  Serve over toast or waffles.
