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 spread on my favorite crackers for game days or the . But you can serve it with whatever you like, including veggie sticks.
Recipe Ingredients
- Cream cheese (here’s my recipe for homemade cream cheese)
- 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.
Recipe Notes
- Besides wheat crackers, serve your dip as an with small pieces of toasted rye bread or pumpernickel bread, , vegetable sticks like celery and carrot, , , 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 for chopped if that’s your preference.

CHRISTY, I just love your quote encourage you have today I had a friend who she thought that this girl was her best friend and I told her to just let her go she is the one who losed a good friend not you. and told her I was very blessed I had her as a friend and to let this other girl go on her way she is not worth her friendship. Also I love the recipe to the corn beef dip. i will put this in my save resipes folder where i have lots of your resipes that i have . Thank You for sharring this with us today.
Sounds really good!!
I am all in for frugal. I am going to make this next occasion that i have a need for an appetizer. When you said corned beef ( before I read the newsletter) I thought of corned beef that comes in a square sort of can with that nasty key opener than I always seem to break. Anyhow that used to be very cheap and my family cooked it with with cabbage and boiled potatoes for a cheap, quick, and easy dish. The last time I looked for it it was close to five dollars a can and is only twelve oz. if I remember correctly. I am happy this version is a dollar.
I have been making this cheese ball for 40 years. I use accent instead of seasoning salt. Yummy.
Great recipe–thanks for sharing–and great advice! I once heard (I have no idea if it’s true) that lobster fisherman don’t have to put a “top” on the containers (cages) they catch the lobsters in….it’s said that if one lobster tries to climb out, the other lobsters will drag him back down. Sometimes people are like that, too…so unhappy in their cages (but afraid to leave) that all they feel they can do is drag others down. It’s sad, really…but you gave great advice….keep on climbin’! 🙂
Oh no you di-din’t…!!! Chop that lunch meat up on that nice plate! LOL But then again… your kitchen… your rules…! LOL Enjoyed the chat above and am glad that you have a healthy attitude towards folks trying to separate you from your courage! Wonderful advice!! BTW… the recipe looks tasty and easy! My kind of recipe for sure. Keep on keepin’ on, Christy! We’ve got your back!!
I cringed when I saw the meat chopped on the plate also.
En-couraging….or dis-couraging?
If y’all look at most all of Christy’s recipe posts, she NEVER uses a chopping board, just a plate. I use a chopping board if one is clean, but I admit to using my Corelle sandwich plates just about as often. Plates are multi-taskers!
Thanks for your words of wisdom today, Christy. Wonderful post and so timely for me. I pray to be one who does not separate anyone from their courage.
This recipe sounds delicious!
Bountiful Blessings!
