So after working an early morning shift, we were off to the annual NOVA Christmas Party that is two hours away. Usually we camp it but my work schedule was not going to allow for it this year. So I knew whatever we made to take, would need to travel well and have a way to be reheated/warmed once there since the oven would be cooking the main course for dinner! Since we would be there in time for appetizers, I signed up to make one of those. Now, I am not a reuben freak, but my Mother in Law makes an AMAZING reuben sandwich and no other reuben sandwich will stack up to it. This dip, comes in close second!
If there is extra (The recipe doubles well) I will use the party toasts and dab some dip on them and stick them under the broiler till melty the next day. AMAZING again! So much for losing weight with this dip around folks, its worth the extra though! I promise!
Reuben Dip
16oz JAR of Sauerkraut- rinsed, drained, squeezed, and run a knife through it
8oz Cream Cheese - Softened
2 cups Cooked Corned Beef - sliced thin and chopped
1/4 cup Thousand Island Dressing (Double this if you like TI dressing!)
2 cups Shredded Swiss Cheese
Directions:
The bagged kraut is bitter, so don't use it unless you REALLY like bitter.
I chopped the sauerkraut once more to make bite sized pieces instead of having stringy bites and had the deli counter shave the corned beef, then ran my knife through it to make smaller pieces again.
Add all ingredients to the crockpot, stir until combined. Cook on high for 45 minutes stirring occasionally the entire cooking time, low for longer if you aren't in a hurry to have it ready. You are looking for it to be bubbly and the cheese melted. Serve with cocktail or party toast or crackers.
I FORGOT TO TAKE PICTURES!!!! I will make it again soon so pictures can be added!
