This recipe was shared with me by my cousin Cori during the early days of this site. That is how this whole thing started.
I wanted a way to preserve some of those old family recipes along with favorites from my childhood.
It was mostly just for myself, a searchable library of recipes. I figured it would also be a great way to share those recipes with my siblings and cousins if they wanted to make them as well.

Of course things have blossomed and bloomed on this site over the years. Now I am trying to go back and shine new light on some of those original recipes.
What is the difference between dried beef and corned beef?
Dried beef, also known as chipped beef, is salt cured whereas corned beef is brined. Both are salty and delicious, but different.
They are tried and true, but were posted before most of you knew I existed. So this gives you chance to discover them and fall in love with them like we did.
These are always a hit, every time I make them. And surprisingly enough, my husband loves them despite the fact he hates pickles.
Can’t find dried beef
The chipped beef is usually in the same aisle as Spam in the grocery store. It’s usually in a small glass jar.
If you can’t find it, use beef lunch meat or even shaved ham. Both are great substitutions.

Making these for tomorrow. Can I make them today or wait for tomorrow?
You can make them today, just keep them in an airtight container or wrap them with plastic wrap to keep them from drying out in the refrigerator.
Thank you!

Hi Carlee, I've been meaning to go back and 'improve' some of my first posts too, but I'm torn between updating them or leaving them be as a remnder of how my posts have changed (my way of copping out)… I love it when we can fool our loved ones into enjoying something they swear they don't like!… I can see why your roll ups were a hit.

I still have some old ones that are horrible, but I have been having fun redoing some. Plus it gives me an excuse to remake some recipes I haven't made in a while!
