Today I’m going to share a yummy cold Reuben dip or spread for your crackers with ya that will bring something new and delicious to any menu. Now, I’ve previously shared my hot Reuben dip recipe here. But this time we’re making a cold Reuben dip. It still has the same flavor and taste like a classic Reuben sandwich but in spreadable dip form. Sounds delicious, doesn’t it?

We’re talking diced corned beef, green onion, and cream cheese, with seasonings like Worcestershire sauce and seasoned salt. This is also one of the easiest dips you’ll ever make. Just dice the beef, chop the onion, combine the ingredients and let it sit in the fridge overnight. The next day, your cold Reuben dip will be ready to share with friends and family.

I love to serve it as an appetizer spread on my favorite crackers for game days or the Super Bowl. But you can serve it with whatever you like, including veggie sticks. 

Ingredients for cold Reuben dip.

Recipe Ingredients

  • Cream cheese (here’s my recipe for homemade cream cheese)
  • Chopped corned beef (any kind of cheap deli corned beef)
  • Green onions
  • Worcestershire sauce
  • Seasoned salt

How to Make Cold Reuben Dip

Dice corned beef.

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 mixing bowl.

Place all ingredients in a large bowl.

Mix ingredients together.

Mix. You saw that coming, didn’t ya? 😉

Wrap in cling wrap and refrigerate overnight.

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.

Recipe Notes

  • Besides wheat crackers, serve your dip as an appetizer with small pieces of toasted rye bread or pumpernickel bread, bagel chips, vegetable sticks like celery and carrot, rye chips or rye crackers, pita chips, or pretzel chips.
  • If you miss sauerkraut, you can add half a cup of sauerkraut (rinsed and drained) to this recipe. Alternatively, our hot Reuben dip includes sauerkraut.
  • You can also substitute the chopped corned beef for chopped pastrami if that’s your preference.
  • Isn’t cheesy enough? You can always add a cup of shredded cheddar cheese or shredded Swiss cheese (our hot dip also includes both).

    1. Been making something similar to this for years but I add chopped black olives and don’t put in any seasonings, you get the salt from the olives. I’ve made this with chopped up ham as well and just as yummy. I do chop my meat in a chopper because I’m lazy!

    2. Good morning, Christy,
      What Charie King wrote reinforced a lesson I learned the hard way.
      Being a mom is the most important job in the world, and the most challenging. 🙂
      It can be hard to strike a balance between encouraging our kids, while still being realistic with them, and holding them accountable when necessary.

      God convicted me about the way that I reacted to the things my children did or told me. Reactions can be encouraging or discouraging and too often mine were not the positive variety. Discipline need not be harsh to work. Words spoken quietly have a greater positive impact than those that are shouted.
      It’s never too late to become more encouraging and careful with words.
      That, the grace of God and love and forgiveness, changed our family.
      Wish I had learned that lesson while my kids were still very young, but it truly is never too late. 🙂
      The book is entitled, “12 Questions to Ask Before You Marry” and our son (and every new student) was given a copy when he began his freshman year at Liberty University. It’s good for us old married folk too, lol.

      Thank you for being such a blessing and letting your light shine right where you are. Your messages are a daily reminder to me to focus on the right things, to keep my eyes on Jesus and not the bumps in the road along the way.

      1. Julianne once again you hit home with your thoughts. i used to work with a very young teacher she was only 20 years old but taught through the eyes of God in her heart and mind. The principal always gave her the students that no one else could teach either due to behaviors or mental levels. She always accomplished what even the most seasoned of teachers could not accomplish with these students as she was calm, gentle, loving and always prayed each morning and night as well as at school for god to guide her in the right direction of touching the young child. So you are so right about being calm, and not yelling.

    3. Now I think that is a FINE bit of wisdom right there! Bless the person that shared it with you so that you could share it with all of us. That little tidbit will stick with me! And thank YOU for always being a beacon of encouragement yourself. 🙂

    4. Awesome post today …. just as we encourage and fill your life you do the same for so many more. I have come to equally love the quotes and encouraging stories as much as the recipes. I signed up initially for the recipe ideas and I get so much more. Thank you.
