I made this for our Christmas party and it was a big hit. I made it into a log instead of round and just rolled it in extra dried beef. I think I added more than 3 tbsps. of horseradish just because I love it. Thanks for posting!

this was incredibly wonderful.this is the second time i made this recipe. this time, i used a 2.2 ounce jar of dried beef and 8 ounces of shredded cheddar cheese, skipped the walnuts and made it for a New Year's day party, great hit. The first time I made it, I did use the 4 ounces of dried beef and it was way too salty. it would have been a 1 star review, so I waited a made it a second time with modifications. Everyone at the party was glad I did.

I made this the night before our Christmas dinner and it was very good, the 2nd day it was too salty, should have done like another reviewer and rinsed off the beef. I will make it again, rinse the beef and add some green onion tops for color... I like the blended flavors very much...Thanks for a keeper...!
