Ingredients

8 ounces cream cheese softened
1 cup Thousand Island dressing
1 cup sauerkraut drained and squeezed dry
1 ½ cups cooked corned beef chopped, or deli corned beef, finely chopped
1 ½ cups Swiss cheese shredded
¼ cup green onions chopped; optional, for garnish
¼ cup pickles chopped small
Rye bread baguette slices, or crackers for serving

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a small baking dish or oven-safe skillet.
Mix the softened cream cheese and Thousand Island dressing in a large bowl until smooth and well combined.
Fold in the sauerkraut, chopped corned beef, shredded Swiss cheese, and green onions until evenly distributed.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it into an even layer.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is bubbly and the top is lightly golden.
Garnish with chopped dill pickles and serve warm with rye bread slices, baguette slices, or crackers for dipping.

Notes

Chef Jenn's Tips

Let the cream cheese come to room temperature before mixing to make it easier to blend. YOu can even pop it into the microwave for 20-30 seconds to soften.
Drain and squeeze the sauerkraut well to avoid excess liquid in the dip.
Use freshly shredded Swiss cheese for the best melt and texture.
If you like a little extra crunch, top the dip with crushed rye crackers or breadcrumbs before baking.
Want a smoky twist? Add a dash of smoked paprika or swap in some smoked Swiss cheese.
Keep an eye on the dip while baking—if the top browns too quickly, cover it loosely with foil.
