Ingredients
Scale
1 pound cooked corned beef, chopped
1 (16 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 (14.5 ounce) can sauerkraut, drained well
1 cup Thousand Island or Russian dressing
1 cup shredded Swiss cheese, plus extra for topping
1 teaspoon caraway seeds (optional)
Instructions
Combine the softened cream cheese, chopped corned beef, drained sauerkraut, Thousand Island dressing, and 1 cup of Swiss cheese in the basin of a small slow cooker.
Stir all ingredients together until they are fully mixed.
Stir in the caraway seeds, if using.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 2 to 3 hours, or on HIGH for 1 to 1.5 hours, stirring halfway through. The dip is ready when the cheese is fully melted and the mixture is hot and creamy.
Sprinkle a little extra Swiss cheese over the top during the last 15 minutes of cooking time.
Serve the warm Reuben dip directly from the slow cooker with rye bread slices, crackers, or sturdy chips.
Notes
For a baked version, combine ingredients in an oven-safe dish and bake at 375°F for 20 minutes until bubbly.
Ensure the sauerkraut is squeezed very dry to prevent the dip from becoming watery.
This recipe makes a great make ahead party food; you can assemble it the day before and store it covered in the refrigerator before cooking.
