Full of flavor and perfect for game day, parties, or just a Friday night!
I may have to say that this recipe is *almost* as yummy as my favorite Buffalo Chicken Dip. It’s that good!
Ingredients
- Corned Beef – Shredded Corn Beef is what is used in the classic sandwich and also in this dish.
- Thousand Island Dressing – I buy this from the store for a quick and easy addition.
- Mayonaise – Adds a creamy texture when combined with the dressing.
- Swiss Cheese – Shredded cheese gives the dish so much flavor and taste. Swiss is very common with Reuben sandwiches – you can use mozzarella if you’d prefer.
- Sauerkrat – This is one of the biggest stars of the show! Adds a tanginess that just pairs perfectly with the other flavors.
How to Make Reuben Dip
Step 1: Preheat
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Step 2: Mix
Grab a small bowl and mix together the mayonnaise and the Thousand Island Dressing.
Step 3: Layer
Spread sauerkraut onto the bottom of a 9X13 inch baking pan.
Step 4: Add
Add the corned beef, Swiss cheese, and mayonnaise-dressing mixture on top of the sauerkraut – in that order.
Step 5: Bake
Put in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes.
Crock Pot Instructions:
Layer all of the ingredients into a small crockpot. Turn on low for 4 hours or high for 2. Keep warm to enjoy!
Tips + Variations
- Drain the sauerkraut. This is important. You don’t want any excess liquid from the sauerkraut in your dip because it will make it watery.
- Use Reuben lunchmeat. If you’re wanting a simple shortcut, just buy some thinly sliced Reuben lunchmeat that you can tear apart and use.
- Don’t overbake. Pay attention to the cheese on top. Once it’s bubbling, that’s a good clue that it’s ready to be pulled from the oven.
What to Serve with Reuben Dip
This dip is perfect for dipping all kinds of things in it! My favorite is Rye or Pumpernickle Bread!
- Pumpernickel Bread
- Baguette Bread
- Breadsticks
- Cucumbers
- Rye Bread
- Any wheat crackers
Feel free to dip anything that you want! All crackers, bread, and veggies can make a great choice!
