Scale
Main Protein:
- 6 ounces (170 grams) deli corned beef, chopped
- 8 ounces (227 grams) cream cheese, softened
Cheese:
- 1 cup (100 grams) Swiss cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) sour cream
Condiments and Extras:
- 2/3 cup (160 milliliters) sauerkraut, drained
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) Thousand Island dressing
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 400°F and prepare an 8×8-inch baking dish with non-stick spray.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, thoroughly blend cream cheese, sour cream, and Thousand Island dressing until achieving a silky, uniform consistency.
- Gently fold chopped corned beef, sauerkraut, and shredded Swiss cheese into the creamy base, ensuring even distribution of ingredients.
- Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly across the surface.
- Slide the dish into the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, watching for a golden, bubbling appearance that signals perfect doneness.
- Remove from oven and allow the dip to rest for 5-7 minutes, enabling flavors to settle and temperature to cool slightly.
- Serve warm alongside crisp rye chips, sturdy crackers, or fresh vegetable crudités for dipping.
Notes
- Swap dairy for lighter options like low-fat cream cheese and Greek yogurt to reduce calorie content.
- Rinse sauerkraut thoroughly to minimize sodium and soften tangy flavor for a milder taste profile.
- Chop corned beef into small, uniform pieces to ensure even distribution and consistent texture throughout the dip.
- For gluten-free version, use gluten-free crackers or vegetable sticks like cucumber and bell pepper slices as dipping alternatives.
