Ingredients
  

For the dip
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened This makes your dip luxuriously creamy; ensure it's softened for easy mixing.
  • 1 cup sour cream Adds a tangy richness; Greek yogurt serves as a lighter substitute.
  • 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese Provides a nutty flavor; look for Gruyère for a more upscale twist.
  • 1 cup chopped corned beef The star of our show; turkey or pastrami offers a leaner alternative.
  • 1 cup sauerkraut, drained This contributes a crucial texture and tang; you can substitute with coleslaw mix if you're in a pinch!
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard Infuses a zesty kick; yellow mustard can be used for mildness.
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce Deepens the overall flavor; soy sauce can substitute in a pinch.
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder Provides a rich, savory element; fresh garlic works as an upgrade.
  • Salt and pepper to taste Essential for balancing flavors; always taste as you go.
  • Rye bread or crackers for serving The perfect medium for your dip; consider pita chips for something different.
