Some folks do, others don't. My mom always put the dried beef in a bowl,
pour boiling water over it, let it stand a couple of minutes, then drained
and dried it. Her finished dish always tasted good. Her recipe was
basically the same as what Barb posted, except that she used whole milk,
and also added a dash of cayenne to the sauce. That's also the way I make
it.
