"My oldest son was on a beef jerky kick for a while and then stopped. We had some packages left over at the house, so I decided to update an old family recipe called ‘dried beef dip’ and make it into a party spiral bite," shares Stacey Krawczyk, a registered dietitian and principal consulting registered dietitian for the Grain Foods Foundation, of this recipe’s particular inspiration. "It was a huge game day party success, as it was another use for beef jerky beyond just simply eating out of the package."
