Sour Cream and Onion Dip (From Scratch!)

Para_chan's Note:

I got this recipe from my husband's Aunt Dee. It's simply labeled as "Rye Boat Dip", but judging from the ingredients, I'd say this is sour cream and onion dip! I had a hard time finding other recipes to back up my guess, so I thought I'd post this as an example. If you're unfamiliar with dried beef, it'll be in the same section as Spam and other canned meats. The stuff I use comes in a glass jar. It's a little pricey in some stores-I've used only one jar and it's been delicious. Note: Cooking time is chilling time.

This is a very tasty dip! I made half the recipe and used 1 (5 oz) jar of Armour dried beef, rinsed and chopped fine. Since I was just making this to snack on with pretzels for dipping I skipped the rye loaf but I can see where the loaf would be great at a party!. Thanks for sharing Para_chan. Made for PAC Spring 2010.
