Recipe of the Week: Chipped Beef on Toast

Over the weekend, Brian's brother and I had a conversation about our love for Chipped Beef on Toast. Growing up...in my home, the alternative S.O.S. was made with a white creamy hamburger based gravy and also served over toast or biscuits. This classic is made with thinly sliced "deli" beef.

Ken, this recipe is for you!

Enjoy!
