Well, this clip sums up last weekend.
I will admit to being pretty despondent watching a very pedestrian team play like they were, for one day, the greatest team in college football. But, I’m over it now. Sort of.
This week, I’m reaching back for another military great, because it’s so appropriate. Enjoy your bite!
SHIT ON A SHINGLE
Ingredients
- 10 slices Chipped Beef (about 50 g / 2 oz)
- 2 teaspoons Butter
- 2 teaspoons Flour
- 1/3 cup Milk (skim)
- Ground Pepper
- 2 slices Bread
Directions
- Chop up the chipped beef roughly, set aside.
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat along with a few dashes of ground pepper (optional: a dash of ground nutmeg, a pinch of onion powder or a tablespoon of minced onion, a few dashes of Worcestershire sauce, a squirt of mustard.) Don't let the butter brown. As soon as it's just all melted, add the flour, and whisk it in. Let cook for a minute, then whisk in half the milk. As soon as it's absorbed, whisk in the remainder of the milk, then stir in the chipped beef, and set the heat to low.
- Pop the bread in the toaster. When it's toasted, arrange the two slices of toast and spoon the beef mixture on top of both.
- Serve piping hot.
- If you're serving for lunch or dinner, add some side veggies for a complete meal.
PRO TIPS
You can use white or brown bread. (Brown bread?!?!)
If you aren't counting calories, regular milk is fine -- we just tried to make the dish a bit lower in calories. 1/3 cup is about 3 oz or 75 ml. Feel free to use a bit more to make the sauce runnier if you like.
Feel free to adjust and play with seasoning; most people seem to feel it's salty enough from the beef without adding more salt.
The recipe is for one serving, because when you’re eating shit it’s usually a meal for one.
