Capture the classic deli flavors of a Reuben sandwich in a warm, creamy, and shareable appetizer. This slow cooker recipe delivers savory corned beef, tangy sauerkraut, and melted Swiss cheese, served with homemade rye croutons for the perfect crunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cooked corned beef, chopped
  • 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
  • 1/2 cup drained sauerkraut
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup Thousand Island dressing
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 teaspoon caraway seeds (optional)
  • For Croutons: 2 slices rye bread, butter, garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Prepare the rye croutons: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Cut the rye bread into small cubes. Toss the cubes with melted butter and a pinch of garlic powder. Spread on a baking sheet and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until crisp. Set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Thousand Island dressing, and caraway seeds (if using).
  3. In a 1.5-quart slow cooker, combine the chopped corned beef, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and softened cream cheese.
  4. Pour the dressing mixture over the ingredients in the slow cooker. Stir everything together until well combined.
  5. Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 1.5 to 2 hours, stirring halfway through, until the dip is hot and the cheese is fully melted and creamy.
  6. Transfer the hot Reuben Dip to a serving bowl. Serve immediately with the homemade rye croutons, or offer crackers and extra rye bread slices for dipping.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use high-quality deli corned beef.
  • If you do not have a slow cooker, you can bake this dip in an oven-safe dish at 375°F (190°C) for 20 minutes until bubbly.
  • This dip is excellent served with crisp celery sticks for a low-carb option.
