Hot Reuben Dip

I love how creamy, cheesy, and flavorful Hot Reuben Dip is! Inspired by the classic Reuben sandwich, this warm and gooey dip is packed with corned beef, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and tangy dressing. Perfect for game days, parties, or St. Patrick’s Day celebrations!

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup Thousand Island dressing
  • 1 cup sauerkraut drained and squeezed dry
  • 1 ½ cups cooked corned beef chopped, or deli corned beef, finely chopped
  • 1 ½ cups Swiss cheese shredded
  • ¼ cup green onions chopped; optional, for garnish
  • ¼ cup pickles chopped small
  • Rye bread baguette slices, or crackers for serving

Instructions

  • Set to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an oven-safe dish or small skillet.
  • Stir together the softened cream cheese and Thousand Island dressing until smooth.
  • Fold in the sauerkraut, chopped corned beef, shredded Swiss cheese, and green onions, making sure everything is evenly combined.
  • Spread the mixture into the prepared baking dish, smoothing it into an even layer.
  • Cook for 20-25 minutes until hot and bubbly, with a lightly golden top.
  • Sprinkle with diced pickles and serve warm with rye bread, crackers, or baguette slices.

Notes

Chef Jenn's Tips

  • Let the cream cheese sit at room temperature or microwave for 20-30 seconds to soften before mixing.
  • Make sure the sauerkraut is well-drained and squeezed dry to avoid a watery dip.
  • Use freshly shredded Swiss cheese for the best texture and melt.
  • For extra crunch, sprinkle crushed rye crackers or breadcrumbs on top before baking.
  • Add a smoky flavor by mixing in a pinch of smoked paprika or using smoked Swiss cheese.
  • If the top browns too quickly while baking, cover loosely with foil.
