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.

Super yummy! I make a spread similar to this, using leftover venison roast, and a bit of horseradish.
I love your recipes, your website and especially your encouraging words, you are truly awesome!
Thank you so much Kathleen!
No one can take your courage away unless you let them. So therefore, you have control. No one else does.
So very true Carlie!!
Wow! Christy,
We have been talking for about a week now about this very thing. The importance of edification! It is so neat when God keeps bringing the same thing up to you so that you get a point. The sarcasm needs to go! I want to be someone that puts courage in, not taking it out!
Thanks for what you shared!
Isn’t it great how he gives us little nudges and lets us know that He IS there, and he wants us to hear him and know it?!
I have been a lurker on your website for many years. And today your post hit home for me, so I couldn’t help but comment. .. Like you said, making sure there’s no space in your head for discouragement is the key here. 🙂
Thanks for sharing.
I am so glad it was an encouragement for you Claudia!!!
Can I use the corned beef that comes in a can, with its own little key? We can’t get sliced corn beef here. Would it make a difference in taste?
I wish I knew if you could use corned beef in a can, did you try it and have any luck ?
the corned beef in the can is really too greasy in texture. I tried it and it was kinda gross. I can’t find the Carl Budding packs but my Deli carries a quality Corned Beef. I get them to “chip” it for me on the thinnest setting and get 1/4 lb.
I think it would work fine if you can melt the grease out of it. I was thinking of frying a can up crispy like momma did and draining it, then proceeding. The first 40 years of my life I never saw deli meat other than bolgna.
Looks like another winner… thanks for sharing.
Christy, I tried to do this message privately, but could not find the means to do so. Would you please email me the contact information for the Company handling your Christmas Giveaway fullfillment and shipping. I won a prize (the salad prep/ maker, not sure what it was called) . I have not received my prize. I am thinking my info might not have been received because of computer and Internet connection problems. Sorry for the bother. I was so excited to have won! Thank you, Carolyn
