What is Chipped Beef
Chipped beef is thinly sliced, dried beef. It’s salted and smoked and has a delicious flavor. You can usually find it sold in a sealed package or jar near deli meats in the grocery store or you can also purchase it online. It’s a key part of this recipe so don’t skip it!
Recipe Variations
When you think of bagels, you may automatically think of cream cheese. This dip doesn’t call for cream cheese, but if you want to make it extra creamy, you’re more than welcome to add it! Make sure your cream cheese is softened before you begin mixing so that it incorporates well.
You could also spice up this dip with a dash of hot sauce or some jalapenos. The great thing about dips is they are easily customized to your liking!
