Reuben Dip

With St Patrick's Day around the corner, I wanted to share another favorite Irish inspired recipe. Hot, homemade Reuben Dip.

If you like Reuben sandwiches, then you'll love this Reuben Dip. And, well, if you don't love Reuben sandwiches (like me, actually), you'll probably still love it (like I definitely do).

Reuben Dip is made with the same ingredients as a Reuben sandwich, and is SO easy to make in less than 30 minutes. Creamy cream cheese and Thousand Island dressing, tangy sauerkraut, salty corned beef, and gooey melted cheese, all in this one dip.

What Corned Beef Do You Use?

Personally, I like to make a little extra slow cooker corned beef and cabbage, then chop up the extra to use in this recipe.

But, since the Reuben Dip is delicious all year long, not just for St Patrick's Day, you can also use the corned beef from the deli counter. You'll need about a half pound.

What to Serve with Reuben Dip?

Reuben Dip needs to be served with crackers or chips for dipping. Butter crackers or Wheat Thins are some great classic options. Some fun and different options might be pretzel chips, pretzel sticks, baguette crisps, or rye bread pieces.

Reuben Dip is also great for potlucks with lots of other foods and sides.

Notes

  • Serve with crackers or chips. Butter crackers are classic easy. For a variety, use pretzel crackers, baguette crisps, or pieces of rye.
  • Drain and dry the sauerkraut before measuring. Drain it in a colander. Then transfer to a dish towel or several layers of paper towels. Gently squeeze so that a little additional moisture comes out. Be careful not to squeeze too much, or you'll lose too much flavor.
  • You can use leftover corned beef from a slow cooker corned beef and cabbage, OR you can use corned beef from the deli counter.
  • Make this Reuben Dip in the oven or slow cooker! Both directions are in the recipe!
  • I DO NOT recommend freezing this dip, but you can definitely make this dip ahead!
  • Make Ahead Directions: Follow steps 1-3 of the recipe. Then store covered in the refrigerator until ready to bake, no more than 1-2 days.
