Warm Reuben Dip

Warm Reuben Spread recipe
Kraft's picture

We had company the other evening and I wanted to serve an appetizer -- but something just a bit different; something out of the ordinary.

Something we had never had before!

(I love doing that!  Trying new recipes on company!)

This recipe popped up in my e-mail and since my entire family loves Reuben sandwiches, I decided we'd give it a try!

I've made it twice this week . . .and I might make it again this weekend!

It's so easy!  I made a few minor adjustments -- the following is the original recipe.  I'll give my changes below the recipe.

Warm Reuben Dip
4 oz. (1/2 of 8-oz. pkg.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
1/2 cup KRAFT Thousand Island Dressing
1/4 lb. sliced deli corned beef, chopped (about 1 cup)
3/4 cup well-drained Sauerkraut
1 pkg. (8 oz.) KRAFT Big Slice Swiss Cheese Slices, chopped
TRISCUIT Deli-Style Rye Crackers

 

Preheat oven to 350ºF.

Mix cream cheese and dressing in medium bowl; stir in all remaining ingredients except crackers.    

Spread into a 9-inch pie plate or shallow dish.    

Bake 20 min. or until heated through. Serve warm with crackers.    

Adaptations: 

1- 8oz package of cream cheese
1/3 cup 1,000 Island dressing
1/4 lb. turkey pastrami, cut on a #12 thickness from the deli, chopped fine
2 cups shredded swiss cheese, divided.  1 1/2 cups mixed into the mixture, the remaining 1/2 cup sprinkled on top before baking
Rye crackers, pita chips, or rye deli bread (the small square bread found in the deli section!)

The first time I baked it.  I prefer it that way because I like the brown-toasty color of it from baking it.  The second time, I warmed it in the crock pot.  The benefit of this way is that it stays warm throughout the evening; a real bonus!

Charleston's Style Potato Soup

Love Charleston's! Love everything I ever eat at Charleston's. Love the blackened fish sandwich, which isn't listed on the menu but you can still order it, with glazed carrots. Love the carrots! Love the chicken fingers;  the best there are!  I rarely order them -- because it's not a healthy choice, but oh boy!  They're delish! Love the honey glazed croissant. L.O.V.E! Love the pork chops with smashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Love the potato soup! Seriously adore it! It's thick. It's simple. It's delicious! We don't have a Charleston's where we live. Boo hoo! Here's a close replica of Charleston's baked potato soup.  I found it at www.tastebook.com   I made some adjustments to the recipe.  Not because I think I "know," but because I didn't have everything on hand nor can my sweet girl cherub have some of the ingredients.  I made it and didn't tell my family what it was su...

"Hosaf" (Dried Fruit Compote)

I've made reference to our trip last Summer to different European countries. My prized souvenirs are cookbooks from each country. I'm not sure, of the 4 cookbooks, which is my favorite, but I surely enjoy the one I purchased while in Greece. I'll tell the quick story: We were in an open air market in Greece, searching through antiques and junk. Along the perimeter of where we were shopping were business. In typical European fashion, outside one of the restaurants was a young man leaning against the doorframe, as if to summon customers into his restaurant. When he heard our English, he asked where we were from, as he had studied in the States when he was in school. That question led to a great conversation and he invited us into the restaurant which he and his mother owned.  We sampled all sorts of incredible foods that afternoon and when I told him that I would love to have a cookbook because of the great experience we had just had, he showed me the co...
