Baked Beef Dip

I got this wonderful recipe from my Aunt Vickie. It is a hit at any party!


Baked Beef Dip
-----------------
1-2 small packages slivered almonds
1-2 tbsp. butter or margarine
2 (8 oz. each) packages cream cheese, softened
¼ cup milk
2-3 (2 ½ - 3 oz. each) packages sliced beef, chopped
½ tsp. garlic powder
1 8 oz. sour cream (1 cup)
4 tsp. minced onion


Saute almonds in butter or margarine until lightly browned (using 1 tbsp. butter for each package of almonds you use). Combine remaining ingredients and pour into a 1 ½ qt. baking dish. Sprinkle with almonds. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 – 40 minutes or until desired doneness. Serve hot with assorted crackers.
