Dried Beef and Dill Pickle Dip

If you grew up in the Midwest, chances are you’ve had a version of the classic Dill Pickle Wraps at some point. For me, they bring back memories of my mom making them for every potluck, holiday, and party. Sometimes she used dried beef, other times ham, but they were always rolled up with cream cheese and pickles.

This dill pickle dip recipe with cream cheese is a fast, fuss-free take on those nostalgic bites. It’s all the flavors you love in pickle rollup dip form. Some people even call the classic wrap version Midwest Sushi, so this could be called Midwest Sushi Dip instead. 😉

Whether you remember the classic wraps or you’re just discovering this combo for the first time, this dill pickle dip recipe with cream cheese is a must-try. The mix of tangy pickles, salty beef, and creamy base makes it irresistible. Using both cream cheese and sour cream gives you the perfect texture and flavor balance in this easy dill pickle dip with sour cream that’s ready to steal the spotlight at any gathering.

Whether you call it dried beef and dill pickle dip, pickle appetizer, or just plain delicious, this creamy, tangy dip is the one to bring to every gathering.

❓ FAQs

Can I use ham instead of dried beef?

Yes! My mom often used ham for her wraps, and it works just as well in the dip.

How long does dill pickle wrap dip last?

Store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

What’s the best way to serve this pickle appetizer?

Serve with crackers, pretzels, fresh veggies, or as a spread on sandwiches.

Can I make it ahead of time?

Serve with crackers, pretzels, fresh veggies, or as a spread on sandwiches.

Is this the same as Midwest Sushi?

It’s inspired by the same flavors. This version turns the classic wrap into a scoopable dip.

Can I make this dill pickle dip with sour cream only?

You can, but the dip will be looser and tangier. For best texture, use a mix of cream cheese and sour cream.

Is this dip keto-friendly or low-carb?

Yes! The dip itself is low in carbs. Just serve it with low-carb dippers like cucumbers, celery, or cheese crisps.

Can I use relish instead of chopped pickles?

You can, but it will change the texture and sweetness. Stick to chopped dill pickles for the most authentic flavor.

What brand of dried beef works best?

Any jarred dried beef, like Armour or Hormel, works great. Just make sure to chop it finely.

How can I make this dip more spreadable for sandwiches or wraps?

If necessary, add an extra tablespoon or two of sour cream or a splash of pickle juice to loosen it up slightly.
