Mr. Hatfield's Pickle Dip

Edit #2: Dried beef is not beef jerky. It's very thinly sliced, salty beef that has maybe 10 slices to a package. The brand I use is called Carl Budding and comes in a plastic sealed bag. In the grocery store, you can find it by the bologna and packaged luncheon meats, usually hanging up. It's also the meat that is used a lot for Chipped Beef on Toast.

Edit: I've added a label to attach to each recipe post I do. The link on the label *CK Becky Font* will take you to the free download of this font at Becky's blog. The links to the label *Recipe* will take you to all my posts that have recipes. I'll try to add this reminder to my recipe posts. Enjoy!

How about another recipe? Every month at the high school where I sub, there is a birthday luncheon. The teachers take turns bringing in lunch goodies each month. I was lucky enough to sub on a day when Mr. Hatfield brought in his wife's yummy Pickle Dip. Mr. Hatfield is the girls' PE teacher and he is young and fun and cute and everyone loves him!! I requested the recipe and the girls said I HAVE to name it *Mr. Hatfield's Pickle Dip*. So there ya go.

If you've ever had those pickle roll ups that have dill pickle slices wrapped in cream cheese and ham....well this is it in a much easier version. You chop everything up and make a dip out of it. That's MY kind of recipe, easy peasy!! I serve this with chips or crackers and it's always a hit at the parties. I thought you might enjoy the recipe because we all need a new recipe when the holidays roll around right?

To make my recipe card, I printed the recipe off with my usual Creating Keepsakes Becky Higgins and AFL Non Metric fonts. I chose Karen Lockhart's Pickle Jar image for my accent. Those pickles just crack me up!!
I colored the pickles with various green shades of Copic Sketch markers and then added a BG color for the glass jar. I used Ranger Glossy Accents to cover the entire jar to give it a realistic effect. Finished recipe card measures 4" x 6".
Here's the recipe that you can copy and paste/print:

1-8 oz pkg cream cheese, softened
2 pkgs dried beef, minced
