Crockpot Reuben Dip Recipe
I’m always on the hunt for easy dip recipes that my guests will go crazy for and I found a favorite – crockpot reuben dip! This slow cooker appetizer is delicious and can be made for New Years Eve, Christmas, Thanksgiving, football game day, birthday parties, retirement parties, etc! The possibilities are endless. Make sure to try our Reuben sliders and crockpot cheeseburger dip, too.
How to Make Reuben Dip
To make this you’ll need some softened cream cheese, chopped corned beef, freshly grated Swiss cheese, Thousand Island dressing, sour cream, and some well-drained sauerkraut. Throw all your ingredients into a crockpot and stir until they’re just combined. Cover it up and cook on high for a few hours, stirring every now and then, until that cheese is melted and gooey. When it’s all done, give it a good stir, turn off the heat, and sprinkle some chopped parsley on top.
Serve your Reuben dip hot with some toasted bread, crackers, cucumbers, carrots, or celery – whatever you like! And don’t worry if you can’t finish it all in one sitting – this dip refrigerates and reheats like a dream. Just pop it in the microwave in short increments, stirring between each heating, until it’s warm and bubbly again.
A few final tips to make your Reuben dip truly unforgettable: be sure to drain that sauerkraut really well so your dip doesn’t end up too soggy. And if you’re a sauerkraut superfan, feel free to add more to taste. Happy dipping!
Reuben Dip FAQs
- What size slow cooker should I use for this? I recommend a 4.5 qt or smaller size.
- How do I serve and reheat reuben dip? You can remove the dip from the crockpot to serve in a separate dish. The dip can be reheated in a microwave safe container.
- A traditional reuben sandwich has rye bread, swiss cheese, Russian dressing, sauerkraut, and corned beef. You can substitute Russian dressing for Thousand Island. Russian dressing is a little bit spicier, and thousand island is a little bit sweeter.
- Where do I find corned beef to use? Corned beef can typically be found at the deli counter in the grocery store.
- What goes well with Reuben Dip? Toasted rye bread, crackers, cucumbers, carrots, and celery.
