What is a reuben sandwich?

A Reuben sandwich is a classic American dish made with corned beef, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut and Thousand Island or Russian dressing. The sandwich is served on rye bread and is typically grilled until hot and melted. This dip combines all of the sandwich components for a fun snack option.

How do you make Reuben dip?

This dip is a blend of corned beef, sauerkraut, cream cheese, sour cream, Thousand Island dressing and Swiss cheese. Mix everything together, then spread it into a baking dish. A layer of cheese goes over the top, then the dip is baked until browned and bubbly. Add a sprinkling of parsley and enjoy!

Tips for Reuben dip

• This dip can be assembled up to one day before you plan to serve it. Simply cover and store in the fridge until you’re ready to bake it. You may need to add a few more minutes onto the baking time to compensate for starting with a cold dip.
• Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature before you mix up your dip. If the cream cheese is too cold, the corned beef will break up into tiny pieces as you mix everything together. I think this dip tastes best with larger pieces of corned beef!
• You can use mayonnaise instead of sour cream if you prefer.
• You can use cubed corned beef or deli style sliced corned beef for this dip, whichever is easiest for you to find! I used leftover corned beef from a previous night’s dinner.
• I like to use freshly grated cheese for this dip. It’s a little more work, but the bagged pre-shredded cheeses are often coated with stabilizing agents and they don’t melt nearly as well.
• I typically use bottled Thousand Island dressing, but you can make your own if you prefer.

What to serve with Reuben Dip

There are so many different dippers that pair well with the flavors of a Reuben. I typically offer up multiple dippers to give my guests plenty of options.

• Rye Bread
• Pumpernickel Bread
• Baguette Crisps
• Breadsticks
• Pretzel Chips

Once your party guests get a taste of this hot and cheesy dip, they’ll be begging you for the recipe! Reuben dip is perfect for game day, parties, or even just for a hearty snack.
