The plan is to spread the cream cheese on the beef and then place the pickle slice on one edge and roll it up into a log. You will use your best judgment on how many slices of beef per roll. You want about a 1 inch roll when you are done.
Ingredients:
- 8 oz cream cheese softened (or use the whipped cream cheese – easy-pesy)
- 2 pkg thin sliced beef (Buddig)
- 1 – 2 long dill pickle spear
- 1/4 tsp horseradish (more if you like a little bite.)
- dash garlic salt
Directions:
- Cut the pickle spear into long thin slices – about 1/4 of the pickle unless it is one of those huge ones.
- Dry on a paper towel.
- Mix cream cheese, horseradish and garlic salt.
- Separate sliced meat.
- Spread one slice with a thin layer of cream cheese mixture. About a scant quarter of an inch or so will do.
- Lay the next slice of beef on top of the first slice but slightly offset, about an inch to 1 1/2 inches lower on the slice.
- Cover it with cream cheese.
- Continue on for 5 slices.
- Place pickle slice on the bottom edge.
- Starting at the bottom roll up tightly.
- Repeat with remaining pickle slices, meat and cream cheese.
- Refrigerate, covered, until firm, at least 2 hours.
- Just before serving, cut into 1/2 inch slices.
Serves: Maybe 6 – 8. We have teenagers who will eat the whole plate.
