Hot Reuben Dip
Remember the dip party that I told you all about a couple of days ago? Well, this is yet another winner from that party. I think it was definitely my favorite of the night and all of us (even those of us that don’t like sauerkraut!) devoured it. It includes all of the classic elements of a Reuben sandwich: corned beef, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut and Thousand Island dressing (it also includes cream cheese, which I’ve come to realize is pretty much a dip essential). It’s even served on little cocktail-size pieces of rye bread. Absolutely perfect for the Super Bowl, any other game day menu, or pretty much any party or snack, ever.
Like pretty much all favorite dips, this one is easy to assemble and quick in the oven, which means little effort and lots of time to enjoy it!
A few quick notes on some of the ingredients:

♦ I bought ¼ pound of corned beef from the deli and got it chipped/chopped (however they say it in your neck of the woods), then I gave it a good chop at home before adding it to the dip.
♦ I used sauerkraut from a jar and just pulled it out with a fork, making sure to squeeze out any extra moisture against the side of the jar before adding it to the rest of the ingredients.
♦ I found the little rye bread squares in the deli area of my supermarket.
Thanks to Beth’s friend Liz for this recipe!

A dip party? I have never heard of one, let alone been to one but you’ve inspired me to get making dips and get inviting. I’m now wondering what classic sandwiches I can ‘dip-ify’ (if that’s a word…)
I didn’t grow up liking Reubens, but it wasn’t until recently, when I had an amazing one, that I’ve grown to love them! I’m sure I would love this dip too! Sounds great!
OMG i can’t wait to make this. This looks so good.
Now, THIS is a different spin on warm dips! Love it! The Reuben sandwich is such a classic and this little dip just takes it to the next level … I wonder if a pinch of caraway seed in there would add a nice spicy flavor.
Reubens are one of my favorite sandwiches!! This is awesome!
Nicely done! This would such a great way to fancify a Superbowl party!
Wow! This will make my husband extremely happy. Reuben is his favorite sandwich, he’ll go crazy for this dip!
Thank you Beth and Liz.
Yum, this looks delicious! Definetly need to try this.
Another great dip! THANK YOU! I absolutely love warm cheesy dips!
I love this stuff!!!!
I love this dip! I made it a few years ago and it was a hit! I cann’t wait for Sunday!!!!!!! Thank you for sharing some wonderful ideas!! GO STEELERS!!!!!!
Reubens are my husband’s absolute favorite – I will definitely have to make this one! Looks fabulous!
What a creative idea! This dip sounds really delicious. :)
Holy Cow! My #1 craving during my pregnancy has been a Rueban Sandwich! I am going to make this right now! THANK YOU!!
Oh holy cow this looks amazing! I am totally bookmarking this for the next time I am looking for a good hot dip to try! Thanks for this!
Love this idea! And also love the little rye breads. Makes for even a cute appetizer!
This looks absolutely divine! I was trying to think of fun ideas for my hubby’s 30th birthday party, and I think you’ve totally convinced me to do a dip party for our Open House! Yum :)
WOW! This is the second incredible dip recipe I’ve seen today – now I wanna have a dip party of my own! Seriously, I am blown away by this. Looks and sounds amazing.
OH WOW – All i have to say is YUM! I a love sauerkraut what a fun dip.
The only thing other than this dip and those little baby rye breads that i’d need would be a beer! Looks amazing, can’t wait to try this!
That sounds absolutely ridiculously delicious.
I don’t like sauerkraut, either, but I do love this dip! Next time try it with pastrami instead of corned beef — it’s even better!
I am in LOVE with this dip already. I have been so indecisive on what to make for Sunday, but now I know that this will definitely be on the list. We love ruebens, but they can get expensive to make. This is perfect!
Wow this dip looks amazing and perfect for this Sunday! I love reubens too… yum!
Dips ARE the quintessential comfort food in my mind. My next girls’ night will definitely be a dip party! Thanks for sharing.
Oh God, I need this dip in my life SO BAD. I have been OBSESSED with reubens lately and a dip? HELL YES. Too bad my fiance has banned sauerkraut from our house. As a Pennsylvanian, this is obviously a problem, since sauerkraut appears to be a PA staple food.
Tell your fiance’ that you will keep the sauerkraut on your half of the house. what happened to symbiotic living? LOL
This is a brilliant idea!! Next time I go to a party, I’m taking this!!
MORE great superbowl food. Awesome.
The German girl in me loves this!
