How To Make Reuben Dip
While your oven preheats to 350 degrees, gather all of your ingredients.
Pro Tip
Shred your own cheese for the meltiest bites possible. Pre-shredded cheese has anti-caking agents added that makes it harder for the cheese to get extra melty.
Next, place the room temperature cream cheese, thousand island dressing, mayo, and sour cream in a large mixing bowl. Use a hand mixer to blend all of those creamy ingredients together until they reach a smooth consistency.
Then add in the shredded corned beef, 1 cup of the shredded cheese, sauerkraut, onion powder, and ground black pepper to the bowl and give it all a good mix.
Carefully transfer the corned beef mixture to an 8 inch cast iron skillet and pop it in the oven for 15-20 minutes. While it’s baking, cut a few slices of rye bread into strips.
When there’s 5 minutes of cook time left, remove the dip from the oven, sprinkle on the remaining cheese, and place it all back into the oven so that the cheese becomes melty. For best results, enjoy immediately!
What To Eat With Reuben Dip
This is a hearty dip, so any sturdy cracker or bread would work wonderfully. Serve this dip with an array of dipping options like Irish soda bread, butter crackers, the classic triscuit cracker, rye chips, rye crackers, and cocktail rye bread.
