Dried Beef Dip/Spread* image

My 1st husband's aunt gave me this recipe close to 40 years ago, and I have been making it for potlucks and salad luncheons ever since - everyone loves it and wants the recipe once they try it. Even if you don't like all the ingredients, you can substitute if you'd like, too, for a different taste sensation. I call it my 4 ingredient recipe.

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 can(s) cream of mushroom soup
2 package(s) (8 oz) softened cream cheese
3 package(s) buddig or store brand, thinly sliced beef, chopped
4 - green onions, chopped (tops & bottoms)

Steps:

  • Remove cream cheese packages from refrigerator and warm to room temperature about an hour ahead, so it is soft and easier to stir in other ingredients.
  • Using 1-1/2 to 2 quart bowl, open can of mushroom soup and scrape can to get all soup out and into bowl.
  • Stir-in softened cream cheese. Make sure it is well blended.
  • Meanwhile, cut thinly sliced beef into small, approximately 1/4-inch squares, and add to cream cheese and mushroom soup mixture.
  • Wash and trim green onions to get rid of any dirt or bad spots, chop the onions, tops and all and add to cream cheese, soup and beef mixture.
  • Stir well until the consistency of a spread.
  • Place in refrigerator overnight so flavors mingle.
  • Remove from frig, place in serving dish and serve with various accoutrements: Use with carrots, celery, on crackers or by itself, can even be added to mashed potatoes for a different flavor as well. Can also be used as a spread for bread and as a sandwich (I do).
  • *Ingredients can be doubled for larger crowd, and lasts, if covered and refrigerated and you can leave it alone, for a week afterward. If you don't like cream of mushroom soup, try cream of celery.
