Hot Dried Beef Dip is on the table anytime we host a party or family gathering. I make most of my party dips in bread bowls whenever possible.
Combine the flavors of cream cheese, sour cream, and dried beef with some horseradish for a slight kick to make this delicious dip. You’ll be sharing the recipe and bringing this fabulous appetizer to every event you attend.
How to Serve Dried Beef Dip
The local grocery store always has round bread on their bakery shelves. The normal price is right around $2 and after a day they’re 1/2 price, so I stock up the freezer. We prefer the combo of pumpernickel with the dried beef dip, but sourdough or rye tastes great, too.
This dip can easily be made in a baking dish, also if you don’t have round bread to use. Some people will even serve this dip cold, but it’s a lot harder to dip into when it’s cold. Tastes great with bread cubes, Triscuits or pretzels. Enjoy!
Sometimes finding the main ingredient, dried beef, for this recipe is tricky. I can normally go to any of our local butcher shops and buy it by the pound. My son has even made a dried venison roast that I have been able to use in my dip recipe.
I made the latest batch while I was visiting my mother and the deli did not sell dried beef. I happen to find it by accident in Kroger. It was located in the breakfast sausage area. You can also sometimes find dried beef in jars on shelves in stores like Walmart.
Dip Ingredients (full recipe at end of post)
Sour Cream
Dried Beef

You can use a baking dish, but the bread bowl is the best way to enjoy a dried beef dip. Adding fresh horseradish gives it a nice zing, but you can easily omit it.

I used to make this recipe or one very similar back in the 80’s. My recipe was lost. I remember putting finely chopped walnuts in also which really makes it tasty .

I made this cold all the time but it was for tailgating. The only thing I added was little bit of beer. I think whoever gave me the recipe wanted to just drink the rest of the beer. It did make easier to mix together.

That would definitely make it easier to mix for you and other person drinking the beer. LOL Thanks!

Dip is hard to say a serving size because everyone will take more or less than someone else. 1/2 cup is too much. !/4 or less is best. THANKS
