Ingredients
Scale
1 pound cooked corned beef, shredded
1 (16 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 cup sauerkraut, drained well and squeezed dry
1 cup shredded Swiss cheese, plus 1/2 cup for topping
1/2 cup Thousand Island dressing
1/4 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Rye bread slices or sturdy crackers, for serving
Instructions
Combine the softened cream cheese, shredded corned beef, drained sauerkraut, 1 cup of Swiss cheese, Thousand Island dressing, sour cream, and Dijon mustard in your slow cooker insert.
Stir all ingredients together until they are fully mixed and creamy.
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 should be hot and melted.
About 15 minutes before serving, sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of Swiss cheese over the top. Cover and allow the cheese to melt completely.
Serve the hot Reuben Dip directly from the slow cooker with toasted rye bread slices or crackers for dipping.
Notes
Make sure you squeeze as much liquid as possible from the sauerkraut; excess moisture can make the dip watery.
For a richer flavor, use homemade Thousand Island dressing if you have time.
If you do not have a slow cooker, you can combine all ingredients (reserving the top cheese layer) in an oven-safe dish and bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes until bubbly, then top with cheese and bake 5 more minutes.
