Dip Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ½ pound deli corned beef, chopped
- 8 ounces Swiss cheese, shredded
- 1 cup sauerkraut, drained
- ½ cup Thousand Island dressing
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
Instructions
- Preheat the oven. Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the dip evenly.
- Mix ingredients. In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, chopped corned beef, shredded Swiss cheese, drained sauerkraut, Thousand Island dressing, and mayonnaise. Stir thoroughly until all components are evenly incorporated to create a uniform mixture.
- Transfer to baking dish. Pour the blended mixture into an 8×8-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly to ensure consistent heating and serving portions.
- Bake the dip. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the dip becomes hot and bubbly, indicating it is fully cooked and ready to serve.
- Cool and serve. Carefully remove the dip from the oven and allow it to cool slightly to avoid burning your mouth. Serve warm with your favorite dippers such as rye chips, crackers, or sliced vegetables.
Notes
- Drain the sauerkraut well to avoid excess moisture in the dip.
- Use freshly shredded Swiss cheese for the best texture and melting quality.
- Try serving with rye bread, pretzel chips, or vegetable sticks for a variety of dippers.
- Can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated before baking; just increase baking time slightly if baking straight from the fridge.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
