Recipe Ingredients

- Chopped corned beef (any kind of cheap )
- Green onions
- Worcestershire sauce
- Seasoned salt
How to Make Cold Reuben Dip
Put all of your sliced corned beef on a big old plate and dice it up really well.
Chop up your onions, too.
Place all ingredients in a large bowl.
Mix. You saw that coming, didn’t ya? 😉
Line a bowl with cling wrap and press your dip into it. Cover with more cling wrap and press it down a bit with your hands so that it molds to the shape of the bowl. Refrigerate overnight.
This is important because this is where your dip develops all of the wonderful flavors. Until then, it won’t taste near as good!
To serve this cold Reuben dip, remove from bowl and discard cling wrap. Top with more chopped green onion and serve alongside your favorite crackers.
Storage
Store leftover corned beef dip in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Can you make it with deviled corned beef?
You sure could!
4in school in the 60s. We were served a hot corn beef sandwich in a white sauce .maybe cream cheese? And either dry onion soup ( have you ever heard of this?,maybe its a Michigan thing)
I haven’t heard of it but hopefully one of the readers has and will respond.
We make a slightly different version of this. Crm chse, grn onions, sm glass jar of dried beef finely chopped, sm can of chopped ripe olives, sm can of mushrooms finely chopped, no Wor. sauce, no salt (beef is pretty salty). Add dash of Italian seasoning. Kids who are generally picky eaters come back for seconds on this! Makes 2 cheese balls which can be topped w/ chopped pecans. Freezes well. Love your encouraging thoughts!!
yummy spread and great advice. before I read this last year when someone left a snarky remark on my fb it hurt me as if i had been stabbed. this post and reading the Bible verse helped me overcome that feeling. thanks foe the “encouragement” my fb sister.
Love this stuff! My family has been making it for years……I could eat the whole thing with a fork…It is also good for low carbers to eat with celery……YUMMY!
🙂 Great point Tracy!!
