Dried Beef Roll Ups Recipe

Sharing is caring!

Do you watch football just for the food, too? These Dried Beef Roll Ups are the perfect salty snack to bring to a game day party or serve at home!

I love to keep my game day snacks easy and these totally are. 

What I love about this recipe is that they can be made ahead of time and your guests probably haven't had them before.

If you're a chipped beef fan you'll love these! I'm not a big football fan, but there is something so exciting about getting together with friends to enjoy watching the game.

Ok, well maybe I'm not excited to watch the game, but I'm v excited about the food. I love a good party.

And every party has food. The best part is, a football party doesn't need much fuss.

Just yummy food, a little fanfare and good friends.

How to make Dried Beef Cream Cheese Roll-Ups

Dried Beef Roll Ups with cream cheese are the perfect finger food and football appetizer.

They are salty and creamy and unexpected. Most people have never had these before but they always LOVE them! 

It is the most delicious appetizer you've never heard of. And I don't even like cream cheese. Or horseradish.

True story.

And of course, these are a great finger food idea for any party, not just when sports are involved.

Ingredients for Beef Roll Ups with Cream Cheese

• 1 (5 oz) jar Dried Beef
• 8 oz. cream cheese
• TBSP (or more) Prepared Horseradish (not Horseradish cream)
• optional: Garlic Powder, Worcestershire Sauce (but these are REALLY good in it!)

I don't make these chipped beef roll ups that often so I always forget where to look for the dried beef at the store.

It's in the canned meat aisle. Yes, that sounds super gross. Just look for the chili and the tuna. It's usually by those.

Steps

• Add the softened cream cheese in a medium container.
• Add 2 TBSP of prepared horseradish and mix well.
• Taste.
• If you want more heat, add more horseradish.
• If you are feeling like you need more depth of flavor try adding garlic powder or a little Worcestershire sauce.
• Spread cream cheese mix on a slice of dried beef with a knife or off-set spatula.
• Make sure the cream cheese goes to the edges so that when you roll it up, it will stick to itself.
• But make sure not to overfill or it will squish out.

• Roll it up, cut in half and place in a container to chill.
• They are ready to serve or can go in the fridge for later.

Dried Beef Roll Ups with horseradish are the perfect creamy snack that you can eat with just your fingers. No forks needed.

While we think these are the perfect football appetizers, this is also a recipe my mom makes every Christmas.

Men love these, but so do the women!

This simple appetizer recipe is a great addition to store-bought game day snack ideas or healthier snack ideas for game day.

Pair them with a simple game day guacamole if you're feeling extra fancy.
