"Chipped Beef".
Can be dinner, have done it a few times, but for me it's predominantly a Brunch item, and absolutely delicious.
Not a low-calorie dish, sorry.
It's simple but tastes more complex.
Description would be smoked chipped beef with a homemade white sauce over a golden-brown
(perfectly) buttered/toasted English Muffin.
(Special brand of English Muffin, special type of chipped beef, special butter---all make for the right result.)
It's better than any "chipped beef" in any restaurant at which I've ever ordered anything similar
or of the same name. I test them just out of curiosity.
I learned by watching and remembering my Mom making it. I wasn't in any way going to live my life without it,
so I paid attention. My Dad used to simply smile quietly when she served it, and offered no words except "Thank you".
My wife and children still love it like nothing else, but I don't get around to making it as much since we
have been empty nesters for several years now. I used to make it each year on the morning of the finals of the
Wimbledon Tennis Tournament, calling it "MY Breakfast at Wimbledon".
Also made it on the Saturday or Sunday morning of the British Open Golf Tournament,
and perhaps on a random special-occasion weekend.
I also liked to make it occasionally as a surprise on a really cool Fall or Winter Saturday morning, my "no reason" excuse.
