Quantity Ingredient
¼ pounds Dried beef
¼ cup Butter or margarine
3 tablespoons Flour
1 dash Pepper
2 cups Milk
1 Pimento; cut into strips
1 can (3 oz.) pimento; cut into strips
1 can (3 oz.) sliced mushrooms; drained

Directions

Start heating oven to 375ºF. Pour boiling water over beef; let stand one minute; then drain or use beef right from package or jar if you prefer a full flavor.

Melt butter in large skillet or saucepan. Heat dried beef in butter, stirring, until slightly crisp. Stir in flour, pepper. Add milk; cook, stirring, until smooth and thickened. Add pimento, drained mushrooms. Pour into 1½ qt. casserole. Put casserole into oven.

Then make this topping: Add salt to egg whites; beat till stiff. With same beater, beat egg yolks till light-colored; then fold into beaten whites.

Pour over hot creamed dried-beef mixture. Bake, uncovered, 20 to 25 minutes, or until cake tester or toothpick inserted in topping comes out clean.

Serve at once from casserole.
