I had never heard of dried beef, other than machaca or beef jerky, until I tried this recipe. And it works amazingly well in this dip.
This is a recipe from David’s mom and we have enjoyed it many times, usually when we are watching playoff or championship games. Go Pack and Go Blue!
Dried Beef Dip
2 packages (8-ounce) cream cheese
1 jar (4.5 ounces) dried beef, diced
½ cup manzanilla olives, chopped
3 teaspoons mayonnaise
½ small white or yellow onion, finely chopped
Place all ingredients in a bowl and mix to combine. Once it is well mixed and blended, transfer to a container, cover and refrigerate for one day to let the flavors blend. To serve, bring to room temperature along with crackers of your choice.

If you don’t know about the dried beef I am referring to, this a picture of what I use. I can find it in most of the grocery stores I have visited in Wisconsin. You can probably find it around the United States too.

I’m sure it’s good but give me machaca any day 🙂
