Dilly Boat Dip (Rye Bread Dip)

PREP TIME: 15 MIN
YIELDS: ~ 3 CUPS

Ingredients:

• 1 Pint (2 cups) Sour Cream
• 1 cup Mayonaise
• 2 Tbs Dried Dill
• 2 Tbs Dried Parsley
• 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
• 1/2 tsp Freshly Cracked Black Pepper
• 2 Tbs Minced Onions
• 1/2 tsp Celery Seed
• 2.5 oz (about 1/4 cup) Chipped/Dried Beef, minced
• 1 Boule Rye Bread (or round loaf of choice)

Method for Dilly Boat Dip (Rye Bread Dip):

1. Measure all seasonings, and add all ingredients to a mixing bowl. Stir to combine, then cover, and chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
2. When ready, remove the dip from the fridge and stir again. Slice the top of the bread, then remove the center to create a well.
3. Place on a plate or surface of choice, then fill the bread bowl with dip. Surround the bread bowl with cubes of bread. Dip into, and enjoy!

Notes:

• Can’t find chipped beef? Roast Beef or Corned Beef, minced, is an alternative.
• For a vegetarian option, omit using meat. For a vegan dip, swap the sour cream and mayonnaise for vegan alternatives. Taste test and adjust as needed.
• This dip without the meat is also an amazing dill dip to pair alongside fresh vegetables!
