Rich. Creamy. Deeply satisfying—this is supper, perfected for real life. Born in Depression-era kitchens and perfected in Midwest diners, this recipe turns humble dried beef into pure gold. The secret? A golden roux and whole milk—no flour lumps, no thin sauce—just velvet-smooth gravy that clings to every strip of beef. And that toast? Crisp at the edges, soft at the center—ready to soak up every drop of grace. Best of all? It’s ready in 15 minutes—perfect for weary evenings, Sunday suppers, or feeding a crowd that just walked in from the cold.
✨ Best of all? Naturally make-ahead, endlessly adaptable, and always the first to vanish at potlucks.
“Melt, pour, and share grace on a plate.”
