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. Sounds good to me, and will have to try it sometime!
      As to the discouragers, they are always out there, even sometimes teachers and parents and other community leaders, you just have to pick and choose and find the encouragers! They are there, sometimes its simply a story you hear from someone about others, or sometimes they come into your life unexpectedly, but they are there too! As the old song says Keep on the sunny side always on the sunny side of life!

    2. Thanks, Christy! I’ve been blessed a time or two with peeps who had the “gift of discouragement.” It’s amazing how when we don’t respond to that, or respond with kindness and mercy in return, they either change their tune or they move on. Sometimes we have to weed our gardens.

    3. Been making this spread, probably before you were born, yup, that long! It’s always a hit too, thanks for sharing 🙂

    4. Thank you so much for your words of encouragement, I really needed them right now. Now I don’t really feel bad about distancing myself from a certain group of people. And like the General said, I’m not retreating, I’m advancing in a different direction. Thank you for your always warm and wise words of wisdom!

      P.S. All of your recipes are great too!

    5. Thank you so much for sharing Julianne’s post; it was thought provoking. I am so going to try this dip, sounds scrumptious. That’s what I like about your recipes…they are good and they are d-o-a-b-l-e.
