1 Tablespoon butter, melted

Notes

Dried beef, also known as chipped beef, is a jar of beef that has been dried. It has a salty, unique flavor.
Be sure to let the cream cheese soften; if not, your mixture will have clumps. It takes several minutes on a high speed to get cream cheese to a smooth texture.
You can lighten up this recipe by using low fat or fat free sour cream and skim milk.
If your pecans are not already salted, be sure to add salt with the melted butter (around 1/8 teaspoon).
To change things up, try adding chopped green peppers in at the same time as the dried beef.
One of our favorite ways to use dried beef is in Chipped Beef Gravy or Creamed Dried Beef Gravy.
