Equipment
- 13 x 9 inch baking dish
- spatula
- mixing bowl
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1 cup sour cream
- ½ cup Thousand Island dressing
- ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups shredded Swiss cheese divided
- ¾ pound corned beef chopped
- 1 cup drained and squeezed sauerkraut
- Rye bread rye crackers, or baguette slices, for serving
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375℉. Grease a 13 x 9 inch baking dish.
- Drain the sauerkraut very well. Pat it dry with paper towels and squeeze out as much liquid as you can.
- In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, sour cream, Thousand Island dressing, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, and caraway seeds until smooth and creamy.
- Fold in 1-1/2 cups of the shredded Swiss cheese, reserving about half a cup for the top.
- Gently stir in the chopped corned beef and drained sauerkraut until everything is evenly combined.
- Spread the mixture into a greased baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Sprinkle the reserved Swiss cheese evenly over the surface.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the edges are bubbling and the top is melted and lightly browned.
- Let the dip rest for 5 minutes before serving so it thickens slightly and is easier to scoop.
- Serve warm with rye bread, rye crackers, or sliced baguette.
Notes
- If the dip turns out watery, the sauerkraut probably held too much liquid. Next time, squeeze it harder and use fresh paper towels to blot it very dry.
- When the top browns before the center is hot, tent the dish loosely with foil to slow browning while the center finishes heating.
- Let the cream cheese sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before you start. Softer cream cheese blends more smoothly and gives a better texture.
- Cut the corned beef into small, even pieces so every scoop has some meat without big chewy chunks.
