Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 3 ounces dried beef
- 2 stalks green onions
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 box crackers
Instructions
Remove the cream cheese from the refrigerator about 10 minutes before starting to allow it to soften slightly for easier mixing.
Finely chop the dried beef into small pieces and set aside.
Slice the green onions into thin rings, using both the white and green parts, and set aside.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese, chopped dried beef, green onions, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder.
Using a spatula or hand mixer, thoroughly combine all the ingredients until well integrated and smooth.
Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning if needed (you may add a bit more garlic powder or Worcestershire sauce to taste).
Transfer the spread to a serving dish or shape it into a ball on a serving plate.
Refrigerate the spread for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together. This step is optional but recommended.
Serve the spread chilled or at room temperature with a box of your favorite crackers on the side for dipping.
