If you’re a fan of Reuben sandwiches then you absolutely have to try this this slow cooker Reuben Dip.
It takes all the best parts of the iconic sandwich — corned beef, cheese, sauerkraut and Thousand Island Dressing — and combines them into a super easy to make dip that’s perfect for entertaining.
I originally made this Reuben Dip for a St. Patrick’s Day party years ago, but after seeing how much everyone in attendance loved it I’ve been coming up with every excuse possible to make it as often as I can since then. Housewarming parties, Christmas, Grandma’s 80th birthday, Grandma’s funeral later that year… it’s perfect for any occasion!
What ingredients are in Reuben Dip?
- 4 cups Swiss cheese
- 4 cups Cheddar cheese
- 1 cup sauerkraut
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup Thousand Island Dressing
- 1 pound diced corned beef
How to make Reuben Dip:
Just combine all the ingredients listed above in your slow cooker and cook on low — stirring occasionally — for two hours or until the cheese is melted. Is as simple as that!
How to make Reuben Dip in the oven:
If you want to make Reuben Dip in the oven instead of in a slow cooker just take the same ingredients, combine them in an oven safe dish and bake it in your oven at 375° for 20 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
How to make Reuben Dip on the stovetop:
If you’re looking for an even faster way to make Reuben Dip than in the oven you can also make it right on your stovetop. Just combine all the ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat and cook until heated through while stirring occasionally.
Recipe variations:
- Swap out the corned beef and sauerkraut for pastrami or turkey and coleslaw instead to make a dip version of the popular Rachel sandwich.
- Substitute Montreal-style smoked meat for corned beef to create a Montreal Reuben Dip.
- Create a vegetarian Reuben Dip by substituting diced mushrooms, zucchini or cucumbers for the corned beef or by just omitting the corned beef completely.
What to serve with Reuben Dip:
- Rye chips
- Rye bread
- Crackers
- Carrots
- Celery
- Breadsticks
- Pretzels
