How to Make Crock Pot Reuben Dip

Combine Ingredients: In your Crock Pot, blend 8 ounces of cream cheese, 1 cup of sour cream, 1 cup of shredded Swiss cheese, and 1 cup of chopped cooked corned beef, stirring until well mixed.
Add Flavorings: Stir in 1 cup of drained sauerkraut, 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder. Combine thoroughly until everything is evenly distributed.
Cook It Up: Cover the Crock Pot and cook on low for about 2 hours. You’ll know it’s ready when the edges are bubbling and it’s warm throughout.
Serve Hot: Use a spatula to mix it gently before serving to ensure it’s creamy. Pair it with crispy chips, bread slices, or fresh veggies for dipping.

Storing & Reheating

To store your leftovers, let the dip cool and then transfer it to an airtight container. It can sit at room temperature for up to two hours or be refrigerated for about three days. If you’d like to freeze it, pack it into a freezer-safe container, ensuring it’s sealed well, and it will stay fresh for up to three months. When you’re ready to enjoy it again, simply thaw it in the fridge overnight. For reheating, warm it in the microwave or return it to the Crock Pot set on low until heated through, stirring occasionally. Be aware that the texture might change slightly, so adding a splash of sour cream can help refresh it.

Chef’s Helpful Tips

Avoid overcooking: Keep an eye on the dip, so it doesn’t get too thick or dry out as it cooks.
For the best texture, let the cream cheese sit out for about 30 minutes before mixing; it’ll combine more smoothly.
Make it ahead of time: You can assemble it the night before and refrigerate it, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
Add extra cheese: If you love cheesy dips, feel free to fold in additional cheese toward the end of the cooking time.
Serve creatively: Try it with rye bread slices or even as a stuffing for baked potatoes for a twist.
