Agree with AnitaMIller. How could this possibly be a ‘veggie’ dish with dried beef as a main ingredient.

I've made these for years, except using chopped deli turkey. I must take it to Christmas Eve and get requests for the recipe everywhere I serve it. My sons stand at the cutting board ready to gobble them up as fast as I can cut them!

I always forget how good these are. Everyone I've served them to just raves about them -- once I get them to try them. I always get asked "What's this?" or "What's in this?" This last time I picked up the wrong cream cheese (I got the one with 1/3 less fat), but made them any way. I really couldn't tell the difference in the taste.

Veggie? How does dried beef fit into that category?
