Chipped Beef Appetizer - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese, softened
1 (8 oz.) carton sour cream
1 Tbsp. dehydrated minced onion
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
2 (2 1/2 oz.) jars dried beef, chopped (usually I can only find jars of sliced beef, so you have to do the chopping yourself)
1/2 c. chopped pecans
rye or pumpernickel bread, quartered (or party rounds)

Preparation

Combine cream cheese and sour cream; whip until fluffy.
Add onion and garlic; stir in dried beef.
Spread in a fairly small (3 cup) baking dish.
Top with pecans and bake, uncovered, at 350\u00b0 for about 20 minutes, until the pecans begin to brown and cheese is bubbling around the edges.
Serve hot with bread.
Serves approximately 20.
