Reuben Dip
- Serves 10 as an appetizer
Author Notes
Throughout college, and yes, even a few years beyond, Reuben sandwiches were my "go-to" meal to kick-start my metabolism after a late night. That was back when I could consume 1,500 calories in a single sitting and burn it off in no time. Nowadays, even thinking about layers of corned beef and sauerkraut and melted cheese and thousand island dressing on toasted rye bread causes me to gain weight. This dip is no less rich, but a little goes a long way. —wssmom
