Replace the dried beef with 1 cup of cooked, crumbled ground beef for the classic military 'S.O.S.' version. You can also use canned tuna or shredded chicken.
Stir in 1/2 cup of thawed frozen peas or corn along with the beef for added color and nutrition.
Serve the creamed beef over split buttermilk biscuits, baked potatoes, or egg noodles instead of toast.
Add 1/4 teaspoon of onion powder or a pinch of nutmeg to the gravy for more complex flavor.

Made with a significant amount of milk, this dish is a good source of calcium, which is vital for maintaining strong bones and teeth.
The carbohydrates from the toast and flour provide a quick and accessible source of energy to fuel your day.
A typical serving of Chipped Beef on Toast (2 slices of toast with gravy) contains approximately 350-450 calories, depending on the type of bread and milk used.
Chipped Beef on Toast is a classic comfort food and is best enjoyed in moderation. It is high in sodium due to the cured beef and can be high in saturated fat. You can make it slightly healthier by using low-fat milk, rinsing the beef to reduce sodium, and serving it on whole-wheat toast.
Yes, you can make it gluten-free. Substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend and serve it over your favorite gluten-free bread.
If you can't find jarred dried beef, you can use thinly sliced deli roast beef or corned beef. Sauté the slices briefly in the butter before making the roux to enhance their flavor.
Store leftover creamed beef in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a saucepan over low heat, adding a splash of milk to thin it out as it will thicken upon cooling. Store toast separately.
