Chipped Beef Dip
You know those foods that your family has been making for years, the ones that bring back lots of good memories?
This Chipped Beef Dip recipe is one of those appetizers in our house.
My husband grew up with it, and it has turned into one of my go-to dips when entertaining. And why wouldn't it? It's easy to make, great hot or cold, and gives me a reason to eat Fritos
What is Chipped Beef?
If you're unfamiliar with the exact definition of chipped beef, or where to find it, here's a little run down to give you some clarity.
Chipped beef is a form of pressed, salted and dried beef that has been sliced into thin pieces. While the meat is dried, it's not nearly as dry as beef jerky and has a much lower fat content than beef jerky.
Where to Find Chipped Beef
You can find chipped beef sold in small jars, cans or pouches. They will typically be sold in the refrigerated deli section with other prepackaged deli meats.
Don't be alarmed if you can't find anything that says "chipped beef", it can also come labeled as "dried beef". So if you spot either of those terms, you'll be in good shape.
How To Make Chipped Beef Dip
I originally got this recipe for Chipped Beef Dip from my mother-in-law but have since tweaked it a little. Don't worry, this dip is still really close to the original, but this "beefed up" version is my favorite.
To make this recipe you'll preheat oven to 350 degrees and place the cream cheese and sour cream in a medium bowl and mix until smooth. Next, add garlic powder and Worcestershire sauce and mix well. Then you'll add in the beef and onions and mix until combined.
Lastly, place the mixture in a pie plate and bake until the dip is hot and bubbly. Serve with Fritos or other corn chips and enjoy!
Tips for making Chipped Beef Dip:
This Chipped Beef Dip recipe only has 6 ingredients and comes together in minutes. The original recipe calls for chopped green pepper but I omitted that and swapped the chopped onion for green onion.
This way the dip still has a pretty green color sprinkled throughout, but now the garlic flavor really shines through.
But don't worry if you love green pepper. Feel free to throw it in. This dip will still taste amazing!
Dips that are easy to make your own are my favorite - especially when they involve Fritos. And the way this one disappears every time I make it shows me I'm not alone!

I've made this for years but have always put it into a hollowed out round Shepard' loaf. I do wrap it in aluminum foil before putting it into the oven. Then we use the Bread (broken into bite sized pieces) to use for eating the mixture. I also usually get a small loaf of French bread to also tear into bite sized pieces for serving this.
My Aunt makes it just like you! With the bread bowl and it’s AMAZING! Im excited to try it with Fritos now to
A co-worker made this for years, it was the best dip ever cold. I tried to make it but never came out the same. thanks for recipe
I made it today and tinted it green for St Pats Day ?☘️
How fun!
A woman with whom I worked more than 20 years ago always added toasted chopped walnuts to this recipe, and that made it SO AMAZINGLY GOOD!! She never served it with corn chips (and just as a "by the way," Frito is a brand name, not the actual product. Corn chips are the edible product), but served it with such things as Triscuit crackers, raw vegetables, and sourdough bread that had been cut into bite-size pieces. It was so delicious, many of us would have it as our work lunch.
Joyce,
Tricuit is also a "brand name" of a cracker made by Nabisco. In reference to the Fritos, yes that is a brand name of a corn chips made by Frito-lay. This is like correcting someone for using Doritos instead of nacho cheese corn chips.
Or correcting someone for saying Kleenex rather than tissue.
If I want to serve this cold should I bake it and then refrigerator it or just serve cold?
I’d bake it and then serve it cold but you can do it either way!
Thank you! Baking it definitely brought the flavor out in it!
Has anyone ever had it with water chestnuts?? I’m trying to tout the recipe my favorite cousin would make and I swear it was this dip with chopped water chestnuts..... but I don’t want to ruin it hahahha so thanks in advance
Made this recipe for a work Easter pot luck and I am glad that I gave myself plenty of time. When the recipe was first made I follow directions to the letter, after baking the dip I was excited to taste it and was horrified....the WORCESTERSHIRE sauce is very overpowering as listed in the ingredients. I would recommend that you use much less of the sauce, maybe 1/3-1/2 of the original 1 TBSP.
