Janette Johnson: My version: Make a white sauce. Add cut up hard boiled eggs, leaving the shells on or off, either way it will still taste so awful. Eat with toast. I don’t know why Mom enjoyed this so much!
Debbie McFarland: I loved these!

Ingredients for 4 servings

• .25 cup butter
• .25 cup flour
• 3 cups milk
• Hard boiled eggs, peeled and sliced
• Salt and pepper to taste

Steps

1. In a saucepan over low heat, make a white sauce by melting the butter and whisking in the flour to form a roux. Whisk in milk, a little at a time, increase heat to medium-high and cook stirring until thickened. Bring to a boil and add sliced eggs. Salt and pepper to taste. Serve over toast.

Jennifer Crites: This was a favorite breakfast for many of my siblings. (Remember all the beef jars we used afterwards for drinking glasses?) Janette and I requested it often for our birthdays. My own family now all really enjoy this, except Dan. I guess you have to grow up on it or it doesn't seem so appetizing!

Ingredients for 4 servings

• .25 cup butter
• .25 cup flour
• 3 cups milk
• 8 oz jar dried beed
• Salt and pepper to taste

Steps

1. In a saucepan over low heat, make a white sauce by melting the butter and whisking in the flour to form a roux. Whisk in milk, a little at a time, increase heat to medium-high and cook stirring until thickened. Bring to a boil and add beef torn or cut into bite-size pieces. Salt and pepper to taste. Serve over toast.
2. The sauce can to made thinner or thicker by the amount of milk used. (We liked it thick!) To reduce the calories use less butter to the flour ratio.)
