Boo Boo

This is a childhood favorite of mine.
My mom called it "Boo Boo" because she'd never say "Shit On A Shingle" which is the old school name! So simple, great for using up your leftover Easter ham, and always delicious.



4 Tablespoons butter
4 Tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1-1/2 cups milk
1/3 cup cheese-- any cheddar or American cheese tastes great!
2 pkgs. BUDDIG dried beef-or diced, cooked leftover ham
Toast, or chow mein noodles, to serve on

In a large saucepan, melt butter--no substitutions.
Add flour, salt & pepper stirring until smooth. (will be pasty)
Add milk slowly--stirring constantly to make into gravy.
When smooth, add cheese and stir until mixed well and smooth again. Stir in chopped ham. Stir until hot throughout.
Serve hot over toast or chow mein noodles.

Serves 2 or 3 hungry people
