Equipment

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces Corned Beef chopped (about 2 cups)
  • 8 ounces Cream Cheese softened
  • 8 ounces Swiss Cheese shredded (about 2 cups), divided
  • 1 cup Sauerkraut drained and chopped
  • ½ cup Russian Dressing plus more for serving
  • ½ cup Sour Cream
  • Salt and Black Pepper to taste
  • Fresh Parsley optional

For serving

  • Bagel Chips, Bread, Crackers, or Crostini

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Prepare a 10 x 7 baking dish with a layer of cooking spray.
  • In a mixing bowl, add the CORNED BEEF, CREAM CHEESE, SAUERKRAUT, SOUR CREAM, ½ cup RUSSIAN DRESSING, and 1½ cups SWISS CHEESE. Stir until evenly combined. Add SALT and PEPPER to taste.
  • Spread the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  • Sprinkle the remaining SWISS CHEESE over the top.
  • Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly and the cheese is melted.
  • Let the dip cool slightly before serving.
  • Serve warm reuben dip with BAGEL CHIPS, BREAD, CRACKERS, or CROSTINI, and additional RUSSIAN DRESSING on the side or drizzled over the top.
  • Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3–4 days. Reheat uncovered in a 350°F oven until warmed through.

Notes

Corned beef: Leftover corned beef works great here, or ask the deli to slice it about ½ inch thick so it’s easy to chop.
Dressing: I prefer the Reuben sauce from my Reuben sandwich recipe, but Russian dressing or Thousand Island dressing works well, too.
Cheese: I used Jarlsberg Swiss, but Gruyère or regular Swiss cheese also works. If using sliced Swiss, chop it into small pieces so it melts more easily.
Flavor boost: Stir in a little prepared horseradish for extra kick, and serve with homemade pickles, or chop the pickles and mix them into the dip.
Air fryer option: Cook the reuben dip at 350°F for about 15 minutes, or until hot and bubbly with melted cheese on top.
Crockpot option: Add the ingredients to a slow cooker and cook on HIGH for 1 hour or LOW for 3 to 4 hours, stirring as needed.
