Notes
- Dried chipped beef is usually located near the canned meats (such as tuna) in your store.
- May be refrigerated for 4-5 days. To reheat, transfer to a saucepan over medium-low heat. You may need to add in a small amount of milk or water to get it back to a smooth gravy consistency.
- Freezing is not recommended.
