Welcome to the hillbilly kitchen, today we're making chipped beef and gravy.

Start with about 2 ounces of sliced dried chipped beef.

Melt about 1/2 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat.

Slice the chipped beef into smaller pieces.

Add the sliced beef to the skillet and sauté for a couple of minutes.

Add 2 tablespoons of flour to the skillet and stir to combine, cooking for a minute to avoid raw flour taste.

Season with black pepper and add onion powder to taste.

Pour in about 1 cup of milk, stirring until the flour dissolves.

Add the chipped beef to the milk mixture, ensuring it's separated into smaller pieces.

Let the mixture come to a boil, stirring occasionally to prevent lumps.

If the gravy is too thick, add more milk to thin it out; if too thin, let it cook longer to thicken.

Optional: add a dash of Worcestershire sauce for extra flavor.

Cook on medium-low heat until the gravy thickens, then turn off the heat.
