A delightful twist on the classic Reuben sandwich, this dip is perfect for gatherings and is sure to impress.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and a bubbly finish.
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, 1 cup of shredded Swiss cheese, the chopped corned beef, and the thousand island dressing until well mixed.
Ensure the cream cheese is softened for easier mixing.
Spread the mixture evenly into a pie dish.
Use a spatula to smooth the top for even baking.
Top the mixture with the drained sauerkraut and the remaining 0.5 cup of shredded Swiss cheese.
Distribute the toppings evenly for consistent flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Keep an eye on the dip to avoid over-browning.
Serve hot with rye bread or crackers.
Garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh touch.
