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. Your post uplift my spirit so much…..God sends us lil blessings for our soul in so many
      different ways. Thank you for being YOU Christy . Love your stories
      of real family wisdom, inspiration, & love! 🙂

    2. Christy, your words are always so wise and helpful–I read your blog for your writing as much as your recipes!

    3. This is the exact recipe I use for my cheeseballs…..except I use plain beef. I will have to try it with corned beef the next time. I also put the meat in my little electric chopper and grind it up until it’s really fine. Thanks for all of your uplifting posts! So nice to see something positive in a world that can be so negative. God Bless you Christy! You really are making a difference! 🙂

    4. I had lost this recipe and am so thankful you posted it. I made this a lot but only thing i did that was different was I rolled mine in green part of green onions that I put in food processor. I also used same recipe and used the dried beef in the jars. I am so glad i found your site on facebook. I love to try new things all the time and again TY so much

    5. Christy, another WINNER of a recipe. I too learn so much from your blog and I am a very faithful reader I even read archives when I need lots of inspiration which is most of the time. The day that Julianne first posted this the other day it came at a very time for me as there was some terrible things going on at my daughters high school and it made me look at the actions of the girls that committed the crime in another light as the girls were not from a home that was encouraged daily but never praised so it does bring light to things even though I don’t condone their actions. Thank you for all your inspiration, sunshine, sparkle, and GREAT RECIPES!!! You are one amazing lady that definitely lets God shine through you!!!!

    6. I also loved that comment about people who can separate us from our courage. Sometimes discouraging comments can be like a sucker punch. So disheartening!
      Also love this dip! Can’t wait to make it…thanks a bunch, as always!
