Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ lb corned beef, chopped
  • 1.25 cups sauerkraut, drained
  • ⅓ cup Thousand Island dressing
  • ⅓ cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
  • ¼ cup sour pickles, chopped
  • 8 oz Swiss cheese, diced or shredded

To Serve (Optional)

  • Green onions, sliced
  • Extra Thousand Island dressing to drizzle

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the dip.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese. Mix in the chopped corned beef, drained sauerkraut, Thousand Island dressing, sour cream, whole grain mustard, chopped sour pickles, and about three-quarters of the Swiss cheese. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated into a creamy, savory mixture.
  3. Prepare for Baking: Transfer the combined mixture into a 1-quart baking dish, ideally a 9.5-inch gratin dish for even cooking. Spread it out evenly and then sprinkle the remaining Swiss cheese evenly over the top to create a golden cheesy crust during baking.
  4. Bake the Dip: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 30 minutes. Bake until the dip is bubbly and cooked through, and the cheese on top has melted and slightly browned.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Once out of the oven, top the dip with sliced green onions for a fresh bite and drizzle extra Thousand Island dressing over the surface as desired. Serve warm with your choice of dippers like rye chips or bread slices and enjoy the classic Reuben flavor in every bite.

Notes

  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier mixing and a smooth dip texture.
  • Drain the sauerkraut well to prevent the dip from becoming watery.
  • Adjust the amount of Thousand Island dressing to taste; adding a little extra when serving enhances the flavor.
  • This dip pairs well with rye bread, tortilla chips, or pita chips for dipping.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days and reheated gently in the oven.
