Ingredients
Scale
1 pound cooked corned beef, chopped
1 (16 ounce) can sauerkraut, drained well and squeezed dry
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 cup Swiss cheese, shredded
3/4 cup Thousand Island dressing
1/4 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds (optional)
Rye bread slices or crackers, for serving
Instructions
Combine the chopped corned beef and drained sauerkraut in the basin of a 4-quart or larger slow cooker.
In a separate bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, Swiss cheese, Thousand Island dressing, sour cream, Dijon mustard, and caraway seeds until smooth.
Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the corned beef and sauerkraut layer in the slow cooker.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 2 to 3 hours, or on HIGH for 1 to 1.5 hours, stirring occasionally until the dip is fully heated through and the cheese is melted and creamy.
Stir the dip well before serving.
Serve the hot Reuben dip immediately with toasted rye bread slices or sturdy crackers.
Notes
Squeeze as much liquid as possible from the sauerkraut; excess moisture will make the dip watery.
If you do not have a slow cooker, you can combine all ingredients in an oven-safe dish and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes until bubbly.
For extra flavor, use Russian dressing instead of Thousand Island dressing.
