Finely slice the green onions, including the tops, for extra flavor and color.
Using a hand mixer or a sturdy spatula, mix the softened cream cheese and sour cream together in the bowl until smooth and evenly combined.
Add the chopped dried beef, sliced green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper to the cream cheese mixture. Stir well to distribute all the ingredients evenly.
