    1. It was just smoked beef (Buddig brand used to sell this but now I can never find it in any store around here) and a packaged bacon and onion dip mix. So I took out the sour cream the original recipe called for and now I use the french onion dip since I can't find the dip mix. The taste is very similar to the original. 🙂
