Ingredients
- 2 packages of cream cheese (8 oz. each), at room temperature
- 1 package of dried beef, finely chopped
- 1 1/2 teaspoons of Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder
- 3 pieces of green onion, finely chopped (and more for decoration if desired)
- Ritz crackers, to serve
- Salt, to taste
Directions
Preparation
- Gather all your ingredients before starting. Allow the cream cheese to sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften, which will make mixing much easier.
- Cut the dried beef into small pieces if it isn’t already chopped, and slice the green onions.
Combining Ingredients
-
- Place the softened cream cheese in a large mixing bowl. If using a mixer, choose a low-speed setting to prevent splashing.
- Add the diced beef and finely chopped green onions to the bowl. Mix the ingredients with a mixer or a wooden spoon until well combined with the cream cheese, ensuring the mixture is even and fully mixed.
- Add the garlic powder and onion powder to the mixture and mix well.
- Taste the mixture and add salt as needed. Remember that the chipped beef is already salty, so add salt gradually to avoid over-seasoning.
