Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 1 pound (454 grams) corned beef, chopped
Cheese:
- 8 ounces (227 grams) shredded Swiss cheese
Condiments and Additional Ingredients:
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) mayonnaise
- 2/3 cup (160 milliliters) Thousand Island dressing
- 14 ounces (397 grams) can sauerkraut, well drained
- Parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the core components by finely dicing the corned beef, grating the Swiss cheese, and thoroughly draining the sauerkraut to eliminate excess liquid.
- In a spacious mixing vessel, amalgamate the prepped ingredients with mayonnaise and Thousand Island dressing, ensuring a thorough and uniform blend.
- Transfer the creamy mixture into an 8×8 inch ceramic baking dish, spreading it evenly across the surface.
- Position the dish in a preheated oven at 350°F and allow to heat for approximately 25-30 minutes, monitoring until the top achieves a golden-brown hue and the edges become effervescent.
- Once removed from the oven, let the dip rest for 3-5 minutes to stabilize its temperature and consistency.
- Embellish the surface with freshly chopped parsley for a vibrant visual and flavor enhancement.
- Serve immediately alongside crisp rye chips, toasted bread points, or your preferred crunchy accompaniment for optimal texture and taste experience.
Notes
- Drain sauerkraut thoroughly to prevent watery dip consistency and ensure rich, concentrated flavor.
- Use high-quality corned beef from the deli counter for maximum taste and tender texture.
- Consider low-fat mayo and light Swiss cheese for a healthier version without compromising deliciousness.
- Prepare dip ahead and refrigerate before baking, which allows flavors to meld and intensify.
