I will give you my best recipe ever that everyone will LOVE!
it's called Love Dip (why? because everyone loves it of course! they will seriously be coming back for more all day until it's gone!)
1 pkg cream cheese
3 small pkgs Carl Budding Beef chopped
1 bunch green onions chopped
Accent Seasoning (you must add this or it won't taste good)- about 2-3 tablespoons (I just pour it in and keep tasting so I'm not exactly sure how much!)
mix it all together and serve with Wheat Ritz Crackers
you can double up the recipe if for a bigger crowd, keep half in the fridge till the first half is gone.

Cucumber Tuna Boats (3 servings)
3 medium cucumbers
1 (6 ounce) can tuna, drained and flaked
2 hard-cooked eggs, chopped
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup diced celery
1/4 cup mayonnaise or salad dressing
2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
1 tablespoon finely chopped onion
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
Cut cucumbers in half lengthwise; remove and discard seeds. Cut a thin slice from bottom of cucumber if necessary so they sit flat. In a bowl, combine the remaining ingredients. Spoon into the cucumbers. Serve immediately.
Cream Cheese Penguins (18 penguins)
18 jumbo black olives, pitted
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
18 small black olives
1 carrot
Cut a slit from top to bottom, lengthwise, into the side of each jumbo olive. Carefully insert about 1 teaspoon of cream cheese into each olive. Slice the carrot into eighteen 1/4 inch thick rounds; cut a small notch out of each carrot slice to form feet. Save the cut out piece and press into center of small olive to form the beak. If necessary cut a small slit into each olive before inserting the beak.
Set a big olive, large hole side down, onto a carrot slice. Then, set a small olive onto the large olive, adjusting so that the beak, cream cheese chest and notch in the carrot slice line up. Secure with a toothpick.
