Don't just serve a dip for an appetizer, up your game and serve it in a bread bowl. The dip is easy to make and tastes like a reuben sandwich.
round loaf rye bread
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
1/2 c. sour cream
1/2 c. mayonnaise
1 c. shredded Swiss cheese
1 c. shredded Mozzarella cheese
1 cup sauerkraut, drained and chopped
1 c. chopped corned beef
1/4 c. Thousand Island dressing
1 T. Worcestershire sauce
1 t. garlic powder
1 t. onion powder
salt and pepper, to taste
chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
cubed rye bread, crackers or fresh veggies, for dipping
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Cut the top off the rye bread; hollow out the center to create a bowl. Cube the bread from the top and the center; set aside for later dipping.
In a bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, Swiss cheese, mozzarella cheese, sauerkraut, corned beef, Thousand Island dressing, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Place the bread bowl on a baking sheet. Spoon the mixture into the hollowed-out rye bread bowl.
Bake 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly.
Serve warm, garnished with chopped fresh parsley and with rye bread cubes, crackers, or fresh veggies, for dipping.
