Gala Pecan Spread

Well, it's New Year's Eve and that puts me in the mood for snacks! Wait, I'm ALWAYS in the mood for snacks!! If you're looking for one last thing to take to a New Year's Eve party or something just to snack on, this is a wonderful and fairly quick little snack. It's actually more like a hot dip. It's one of the things we have for Christmas.

Gala Pecan Spread

8 oz cream cheese
5 oz smoked dried beef (we use 2- 2.5 oz jars Armour Dried Beef)
2 Tb onion flakes
1/4 cup chopped green peppers
1/2 tsp garlic salt
1 cup sour cream (8 oz)

Topping: 1/2 cup chopped pecans and 2 Tb melted butter

Soften cream cheese and blend with a dab of milk. Cut dried beef into small pieces and mix into cream cheese with peppers, onion flakes and garlic salt. Fold in sour cream and put into an 8" pie plate. Sprinkle with topping, and heat in 350 degree oven for 20 minutes. Serve hot with crackers.

Recipe from: Faye Whitfield

Notes: Our favorite crackers to eat with this dip are Wheat Thins, Ritz, and Triscuit. Another plus about using the jars of Armour Dried Beef - you get a free juice-size glass!
