Ingredients You’ll Need

8 ounces cream cheese: It adds a rich and creamy base that ties all the flavors together beautifully. Use full-fat for the best texture.
1 cup sour cream: This contributes a delightful tanginess, balancing the salty flavors perfectly. Light sour cream works if you prefer a lower fat option.
1 cup shredded Swiss cheese: Known for its mild flavor that melts beautifully. Feel free to mix in some extra sharp cheddar for added depth.
1 cup corned beef, chopped: The star of the show! Opt for deli slices or cooked corned beef for the best taste. You can substitute with pastrami if desired.
1 cup sauerkraut, well drained: Provides a zesty crunch that enhances the overall flavor. Rinsing it helps reduce the acidity if it’s too strong for your taste.

Salt and black pepper to taste: Essential for bringing all the flavors into balance.

How to Make Crock Pot Reuben Dip

Prepare the Base: In your Crock Pot, combine the 8 ounces of cream cheese and 1 cup of sour cream. Use a spatula to mix them until smooth and well blended.
Add the Cheese: Stir in 1 cup of shredded Swiss cheese until it’s evenly mixed in with the creamy base.
Incorporate the Meats: Add 1 cup of chopped corned beef into the mixture, gently folding it to combine without breaking up the meat too much.
Add the Tangy Ingredients: Mix in 1 cup of well-drained sauerkraut, 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, and 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard. Stir until everything is well combined.
Season it Right: Sprinkle salt and black pepper to taste, ensuring you adjust based on your preference.
Cook in the Slow Cooker: Set your Crock Pot to low and cover it. Let the dip cook for about 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally until it’s bubbly and heated through.
Serve and Enjoy: Once it’s ready, serve warm with your favorite crackers, pita chips, or fresh veggie sticks for dipping.

Storing & Reheating

Leftover dip can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Allow it to cool before transferring it. If you have a large batch, you could also freeze it for up to 3 months. Just make sure to use a freezer-safe container. When you’re ready to enjoy again, thaw the dip in the fridge overnight and reheat it on low in your Crock Pot or microwave it on 50% power until heated through. You may notice the dip’s flavor becomes even more pronounced with the rest time!

Chef’s Helpful Tips

Ensure all your ingredients are at room temperature before mixing; this helps everything blend smoothly.
If the dip seems too thick after cooking, adding a splash of milk can help reach your desired consistency.
For an impressive touch, top the dip with extra Swiss cheese and briefly broil it until bubbly before serving.
Feel free to experiment by adding in some chopped green onions or cooked bacon bits for an extra flavor punch.
This dip can be prepared a day in advance—just assemble and refrigerate until you’re ready to cook. The flavors will deepen overnight!
