Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 oz cream cheese
- 4 oz dried beef
- 4 stalks green onions
- 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp milk (optional)
Instructions
Allow the cream cheese to sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes to soften for easier mixing.
While the cream cheese is softening, chop the dried beef into small bite-sized pieces and slice the green onions finely (including the green parts). Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and Worcestershire sauce. Mix until smooth and well incorporated.
Add the garlic powder, black pepper, chopped dried beef, and sliced green onions to the cream cheese mixture. Stir well to distribute the ingredients evenly.
If the spread is too thick for your liking, stir in 1 tablespoon of milk to loosen the consistency.
Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl or shape into a ball if desired.
Refrigerate the spread for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve with crackers, vegetable sticks, or bagels. Enjoy!
