This chipped beef dip is the kind of recipe you make when people are already on the way over, and you need something on the table fast. It is creamy, salty, a little savory in the best way, and somehow always gone before you even sit down. No cooking, no stress, just mix everything together and watch it disappear with chips, crackers, or whatever is closest.
If this dip is already pulling people into the kitchen, you might as well lean into it. Naan Flatbread Pizza and Naan Taco Pizza are both perfect when snacks start turning into a full-blown dinner situation, especially since everyone can customize their own. Chicken Spinach Artichoke Pizza is another easy option when you want something warm and cheesy without much effort, and Air Fryer Garlic Parmesan Wings are always a solid move when people are still hovering and asking what else is coming.

FAQs (Because Life’s Too Busy for Guesswork)
You can usually find them in the refrigerated section of your local grocery store. For this recipe, I used the Buddig brand, but you can use another brand if you prefer.
Yes, follow the instructions to prepare and transfer the mixture to a baking dish instead of a serving dish. Bake at 350°F for 15-20 minutes or until hot and bubbling. Traditionally, hot chopped pecans are sprinkled on top before baking.
Making it ahead of time will make it resemble a cheese ball, as it needs to be stored in the refrigerator until ready to serve. The time in the fridge will cause it to set and become firmer. You can prepare it beforehand and then bring it out in time to let it warm to room temperature before serving. However, the constant temperature changes are not good for dairy products.
If you would like to add some extra heat to the dish, you could include red pepper flakes, 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper, chopped pickled jalapenos, or 1 tablespoon of horseradish.
What are substitutions that I can make?
- Cream Cheese – You can choose a light or original option. Either works well in this recipe.
- Sour cream – Plain Greek yogurt is another option; mayonnaise is also an option, but the dish would no longer be egg-free.
- Smoked beef slices – There is also a canned dried version you can use.
- Worcestershire sauce – In a pinch, soy sauce or coconut aminos can be used as substitutes.
How should I store my leftover beef dip?
- Chipped Beef Dip should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4-5 days. Serve chilled; freezing is not recommended.
