Dried Beef & Dill Pickle Spread - cooking recipe

Ingredients

8 ounces cream cheese, softened (light is ok)
2 tablespoons sour cream (light is ok)
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1 1/2 cups dill pickles, chopped (use whole Kosher dills)
6 ounces dried beef (3 of the 2 ounce pkg of Buddig)
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder (more to taste)

Preparation

Chop dill pickles into pieces slightly larger than pickle relish, about 1/4\". Measure 1 1/2 cups & set aside.
Use a knife to cut dried beef into pieces, about 1/2\". Set aside.
Combine cream cheese, sour cream, onion & garlic powder. Process til smooth.
Scrape into large bowl & stir in rest of ingredients.
Chill til ready to serve.
Serve with Ritz crackers.
I don't recommend putting pickles & beef in processor because this dip needs the chunky texture.
Servings/yield are not exact.
