I have a confession. I went through most of my life without having had reuben dip. When I met my (now) husband, his family always served it for every get together. With my very first bite, I was. hooked! I mean, how did I go through nearly 25 years of my life without this delicious appetizer?! So it’s my vow to share it with as many people as humanly possible. To prevent you from living your life without reuben dip. If you do one thing this month, I hope it’s that you make this super easy reuben dip recipe.
What You’ll Need
In addition to the ingredients, you’ll just need an oven-safe pan. I like to use cast iron, because I like the flavors that come from using it. But any baking dish will work. Here’s what else you’ll need:
- 8 ounces corned beef (deli), roughly chopped
- 1 cup of sauerkraut, drained well and squeezed dry
- 1 cup of mayonnaise
- ⅔ cup of thousand island dressing
- 4 ounces of chive and onion cream cheese, softened
- 2 cup of swiss cheese, shredded
- 1-2 teaspoon of fresh chives, chopped
- Rye crackers for dipping. Alternatives: blue corn chips or rye bread
That’s it. I would also recommend that you use a good sauerkraut. Cleveland Kraut is our favorite. It can be found at many national retailers.
