Dried Beef Spread

Submitted by Bobbie S.

"I've been making this for years. The recipe came from one of the military wives that we were stationed with well over 40 years ago. I'm not fond of the Rye Krisp crackers -- unless I have this spread -- then I could eat the whole box! Note that the prep time does not include the 6-8 hours this spread should sit in the fridge before using."
