The Hot Beef Dip was a big hit here at the office. We loved the warm and spicy flavor mixed with the crunch of a cracker. This dip would be great as an appetizer or with a hearty soup such as Italian Chicken Chili.

I think substituting taco seasoned cheese or pepper jack would be great in this.
Sounds delicious!!! Am anxious to make it!!
I am going to have to try this & I agree with tzumama, pepper jack would be a good substiute.
I make this all the time! A favorite at our house and especially when we have guests in. So yummy!
Where does one find dried chipped beef?
> They probably mean Buddig Beef. You can find it in the lunch meat section of the grocery store. This stuff is good if you add it to some white milk gravey and pour over toast…one of my childhood favorites.
Could I use lunchmeat as a subsitute ?
