A simpler variation of my family’s preferred snack. I used to wrap them, but this is much simpler for me. Serve alongside whole grain crackers.

I make this quite often, I use 1/2 cream cheese 1/2 sour cream. I also add a little season salt to give it more flavor. Dried beef has more flavor but regular thin sliced beef works to. Always a big hit when I don’t have time for pickle wraps.
I really like this dip.. it’s hearty and low carb.. I enjoy it with Pretzel Crisps.. and I did add black pepper, just for looks mostly.
This recipe is totally different from the one I grew up on & we didn’t put pressed beef in the dip with pickles. How I was taught 1 cream cheese soften, 1 sour cream, chopped white onion, chopped Milwaukee Pickles add pepper & garlic salt to your tasting mix all together let it chill in refrigerator and you can put the pressed beef in same dip bas minus the pickles. A lot better this way & not so thick
Nothing special. Pretty bland.
I substituted chopped ham for the meat. Turned out great!
I made this for our family Christmas gathering and it was a huge hit. I made some additions to the dip. I added a few spoons of sour cream and a small amount of mayo. Instead of using beef I used ham. This tasted like dill pickle roll ups without having to spread the cream cheese on the pickle and roll the ham around it.
This was SO good and easy. I followed a couple reviews and used 8 oz whipped cream cheese and also used about two-thirds of a small jar of dill pickle relish in lieu of pickle spears. It’s ready to eat right away. Served with crackers.
this was great just as is…super easy and quick to make and my BF liked it after looking at me side-eyed over the dried beef in a jar lol cream cheese tip: microwave it for about 20-30 seconds to get it soft to easily mix it all up
Delicious on flour tortillas!
I did use dill pickle relish, guessing that helped with consistency too. Everyone loved it.
This was super easy to pull together. I did use pastrami instead of the dried beef since I wanted it to be closer to the pickle rolls we love. I agree it’s a little thick and next time I will use some sour cream to thin it out a bit. Overall a fun and tasty appetizer.
Like the other reviewers, I cheated and used dill pickle relish, a couple spoons of sour cream, some onion powder, and a pkg of little ham cubes I found in the lunch meat sections. Served with cracked pepper water crackers. It was so good I have been asked make a double batch for the Super Bowl party next weekend.
added a couple spoonfuls of sour cream to thin it out. Would be delicious with hard salami as well i think
I used cooked ham deli meat. Big holiday hit!
I use bacon in place of the beef and added a couple tablespoons of sour cream. If you love pickles, you can’t go wrong with this dip.
I made this with a small jar of relish and added about two tablespoons of sour cream to smooth it a bit. It’s a simple recipe to whip up when I don’t have time but need to bring something. It went over well with my family.
This is the third time I’ve made this recipe. My family loves it as written. Today, I’m making it for a bigger crowd and am going to try adding a couple Tbsp. of sour cream to add some creaminess. Thanks for sharing… this is a new family favorite!
I made this for a potluck meeting. The summertime temps were over 100degrees and I wanted something cool. I chopped up whole dills and added a bit of dill juice to thin it. It was still too thick so I added some sour cream to make a nice dipping consistency. The flavor seemed good to me but it wasn’t liked very well at the meeting. thought it tasted good!
Love it. I also add a cup of sour cream to break down the thickness.
Always a huge hit.
Another ingredient you can use is plain Greek yogurt to add creaminess without altering the flavor!
