If you like Reuben sandwiches, this creamy Corned Beef Dip is just the dip for you.
Some of the best recipes come from family friends, this dip is the perfect example. I slightly modified this recipe from a family friend (Thanks, Carrie) and can assure you it’s one of the best out there. There are many dip recipes out there, but none quite like this one. Cheesy, creamy, and topped with a nutty crust! Each bite leaves you wanting more.

Other ways to enjoy corned beef:
Corned beef is popular on Reuben sandwiches with marbled rye bread, but is also popular to eat on New Year’s Day with potatoes and cabbage. It’s said to bring good luck. It’s also very common to eat with eggs on St. Patrick’s Day! I think I prefer dip form best! 😉
