Create a warm, cheesy appetizer that captures the classic Reuben sandwich flavors using your slow cooker. This easy recipe combines corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, and dressing for a crowd-pleasing party dip.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound corned beef, cooked and shredded
  • 1 (14 ounce) can sauerkraut, well drained 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 sturdy crackers, for serving

Instructions

  1. Place the shredded corned beef and the dried sauerkraut into the basin of a small slow cooker.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded Swiss cheese, Thousand Island dressing, sour cream, Dijon mustard, and caraway seeds if you are using them. Mix until the ingredients are smooth and fully combined.
  3. Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the corned beef and sauerkraut in the slow cooker.
  4. Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 1.5 to 2 hours, or on HIGH for 1 hour, stirring halfway through. The dip is ready when the cheese is fully melted and the mixture is hot throughout.
  5. Stir the dip well before serving. Serve warm directly from the slow cooker with slices of toasted rye bread or your favorite crackers for dipping.

Notes

  • Squeezing the sauerkraut very dry removes excess liquid, which prevents the dip from becoming watery.
  • If you do not have a slow cooker, you can bake this dip. Combine all ingredients in an oven-safe dish and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20 to 25 minutes, or until bubbly and the cheese is melted.
  • For an extra savory flavor, add 1 tablespoon of drained pickle relish to the cheese mixture.
