Ingredients (Serves 8-10):
For the Dip:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
- 1 cup chopped corned beef (or pastrami)
- 1/2 cup sauerkraut, drained
- 1/4 cup Thousand Island dressing
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder (optional)
For the Rye Bread Bowl:
- 1 large round rye bread loaf
- 1 tbsp butter, melted (optional, for toasting)
For Serving:
- Cubed rye bread, crackers, or veggies for dipping
Tips for Success:
- Drain the sauerkraut well to avoid making the dip watery.
- Toast the bread bowl lightly for added texture and to prevent sogginess.

How to Make Reuben Dip in a Rye Bread Bowl:
1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Mix the Dip Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, shredded Swiss cheese, corned beef, sauerkraut, Thousand Island dressing, black pepper, and garlic powder (if using). Mix until well combined.
3. Prepare the Bread Bowl:
- Cut off the top of the rye bread loaf and hollow out the center, leaving a 1-inch thick shell. Reserve the removed bread for dipping.
- Brush the inside of the bread bowl with melted butter if desired.
4. Fill and Bake:
- Spoon the Reuben dip mixture into the prepared bread bowl. Place the bread bowl on a baking sheet.
- Arrange the reserved bread pieces around the bread bowl for toasting.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly, and the bread pieces are toasted.
5. Serve:
- Carefully remove from the oven. Serve the bread bowl warm with the toasted bread pieces, crackers, or veggies for dipping.
