Baked Beef Dip

I remember my Mom making this to bring to family friends when they would play cards for pennies. It was also at most New Year's Eve celebrations and Super Bowl game parties. It is very savory and creamy. I think she served it with Ruffles potato chips. Today we love it with pretzel crackers or chips. It is great hot or cold. If you do serve it cold be sure to toast the pecans first. This is one of the dishes my sister brings to food days at work. We made it  Saturday night so she could take it to work for an Easter treat for all of those who had to work.
