Why you’ll love this recipe
This dip can easily be made in a bread bowl or a baking dish. Some people will even serve this dip cold, but it’s a lot harder to dip into when it’s cold. It tastes great with bread cubes, Triscuits, or pretzels.

How to make chipped beef dip
Step 1: On low speed in a mixing bowl beat together sour cream and cream cheese.
Step 3: Stir in dried beef.
Step 2: Fold in Onion. Also, fold in Horseradish if desired.
Step 4: If you are using a bread bowl hollow out the center and fill with prepared dip. Otherwise, bake in a small oven safe dish. (I’d use some kind of non-stick spray on the dish).
Step 5: Bake at 325 degrees for 25 minutes. Serve hot with bread cubes, fresh veggies and crackers.
Expert Tips
– 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.
– 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.
Storage suggestions
Store this dip in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days for optimal freshness.

We add dried dill to the recipe and leave out the horseradish.
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 .
@Kathy Webber, I’ve also made this and added chopped dill pickles!
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!
How big is a serving? 1/2 C or 1/4 C ?
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
I grew up with this we made it a little different we would add accent and it really pumps up the flavor

What is chipped beef?
Dry chipped beef. They sell it at butcher shops. It also comes prepacked in the deli sections of most stores and can also be found jarred in the grocery aisle. Good luck!
