The Hungry Bluebird » Recipes » Appetizers » Chipped Beef Dip

A favorite classic appetizer that everyone loves! Chipped beef dip with cream cheese, Buddig beef, garlic and Worcestershire, perfect for the holidays or game day.

I'm a sucker for anything with cream cheese or sour cream as a key ingredient, and that includes appetizers and dips. My parents and my dad's side of the family always put out a big bowl of chipped beef dip to snack on and tide everyone over until dinner. I can't remember a holiday gathering without it. It's so easy and so good.

I just started making some the past few years for my family and they love it, especially my husband. My mom was here for Thanksgiving and I watched her make it, no measuring, just eyeballing everything. It's that kind of recipe.

Ingredients for this party dip

Just a few ingredients needed for this simple cream cheese-based dip:

• Cream cheese
• Buddig brand smoked and pressed beef
• Garlic powder
• Worcestershire sauce
• A little milk to thin consistency so it's spreadable

How to make chipped beef dip

Just as easy to make as the ingredients are to gather.

1. Thinly slice beef into strips and then chop, set aside.
2. Bring the cream cheese to room temperature, then place in mixing bowl. Add garlic powder and a couple dashes of Worcestershire and mix well with a fork. Add a little milk and mix to thin and soften consistency.
3. Toss in the chopped beef and combine well. Taste for seasonings and adjust if needed. I add a little fresh cracked pepper, my mom does not.
4. Transfer to a pretty serving bowl, add a little dip knife and serve with crackers.

Recipe Notes and Tips

• The cream cheese needs to be really soft to work with, I take it out several hours before making.
• You could garnish it with some sliced green onions before serving, I don't, but you can if you want.
• This is a cold chipped beef dip but you can also make a version that is baked and served hot. It usually has scallions and pecans in it or on top. Here's a recipe to check out for a warm version of this dip and another hot version with pecans.
• We keep the dip out and at room temp for the duration and serve with assorted crackers or corn chips.

This dip is definitely an old-school party appetizer and favorite for the holidays, game day, potluck or any large gathering where snacks are involved. It's the classic appetizer to graze on that everyone loves! Enjoy,Kelly🍴🐦
