Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces corned beef, finely chopped or shredded
  • 1 cup Swiss cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup sauerkraut, drained and roughly chopped
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream, full-fat
  • 1/2 cup Thousand Island dressing
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 6 slices rye bread
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon caraway seeds (optional)
  • Salt, a pinch (for rye chips)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cut the rye bread slices into bite-sized triangles or strips about 1 to 1.5 inches wide. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  3. Brush the rye chips lightly with olive oil or melted butter. Sprinkle with caraway seeds if using, and a pinch of salt. Bake for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden. Set aside to cool.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, and Thousand Island dressing. Blend with a hand mixer or spoon until smooth and creamy.
  5. Add Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix well.
  6. Fold in chopped corned beef, sauerkraut, and shredded Swiss cheese gently to keep some texture.
  7. Transfer the dip mixture into an 8×8-inch baking dish and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the top is bubbly and lightly browned.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
  10. Serve immediately with freshly baked crunchy rye chips.

Notes

Drain sauerkraut thoroughly to avoid watery dip. Do not overmix to keep texture. Rye chips are best fresh and crunchy; store in airtight container if made ahead. Add a tablespoon of milk or extra sour cream if dip is too thick before baking. Variations include vegetarian, gluten-free, spicy, and slow cooker adaptations.
