Ingredients
Reuben Dip Ingredients
- ¾ pound thick sliced deli corned beef, chopped
- 8 ounces cream cheese, cubed
- 1 ½ cups shredded or grated Swiss cheese
- ½ cup sour cream
- ½ cup sauerkraut, drained
- ⅓ cup Thousand Island dressing
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
For Serving and Garnish
- Fresh parsley (optional for garnish)
- Rye bread squares or crackers
Instructions
- Add Ingredients to Slow Cooker: Place the chopped corned beef, cubed cream cheese, shredded Swiss cheese, sour cream, drained sauerkraut, Thousand Island dressing, and mayonnaise into the basin of a 6-quart slow cooker. Stir everything gently to combine the ingredients evenly.
- Set and Cook: Cover the slow cooker with its lid. Cook on LOW heat for 3 to 4 hours or on HIGH heat for 1 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally to ensure the dip heats evenly and the cheeses melt smoothly without sticking.
- Serve Warm: Once cooked, switch the slow cooker to the WARM setting to maintain the perfect serving temperature. Scoop the dip into bowls or leave it in the slow cooker insert. Serve with rye bread squares or your favorite crackers, and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
- This recipe works best in a 4 to 6 quart slow cooker; 6 quarts is ideal.
- Cooking on LOW heat prevents the cheese from separating or burning, preserving a creamy consistency.
- For enhanced flavor, use your own homemade corned beef if time allows.
- Leftover dip should be transferred to an airtight container and refrigerated.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.
- Slow cooker temperatures vary by brand; adjust cooking times as needed based on your device.
- Prep Time: 10 minutes
