Reuben Dip
Description
The recipe mixes softened cream cheese with diced corned beef and drained sauerkraut, then combines with shredded Swiss cheese, sour cream, and Thousand Island dressing. The mixture is spread evenly in a baking dish and topped generously with additional shredded Swiss cheese. Baking at a high temperature creates a golden-brown, bubbling cheese topping that seals in the flavors below.
This dip offers a balance of creamy, tangy, and slightly smoky tastes from the corned beef and sauerkraut, with the melted Swiss cheese adding a mild nuttiness. It pairs well with crackers, rye bread, or fresh vegetables for dipping, serving as a flavorful starter or snack reminiscent of the traditional Reuben sandwich flavors in a melted, spreadable form.
Using room-temperature cream cheese ensures even mixing. The choice between cubed or deli-style corned beef depends on availability but both work well. Freshly grated Swiss cheese melts more smoothly than pre-shredded options, improving texture and appearance.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1 1/2 cups corned beef diced or chopped
- 1 1/2 cups swiss cheese shredded
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup sauerkraut drained
- 1/4 cup Thousand Island dressing
- 2 tablespoons parsley chopped
- cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Coat a small baking dish or skillet with cooking spray.
- Place the cream cheese, corned beef, 3/4 cup Swiss cheese, sour cream, sauerkraut and Thousand Island dressing in a bowl. Stir gently until blended.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture into an even layer in your prepared dish. Top with remaining 3/4 cup of cheese.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until cheese is browned and dip is bubbling. Top with parsley, then serve.
Notes
- Bring cream cheese to room temperature before mixing for smoother blending.
- Either cubed or deli-sliced corned beef works; choose based on availability and convenience.
- Use freshly grated Swiss cheese rather than pre-shredded for better melting texture.
