All the flavors of the classic Reuben sandwich in a low carb dip! Enjoy this dip with veggie dippers, light rye Wasa or low carb crackers, or even better, my easy Mock Rye Cocktail Bread. Trim Healthy Mamas, this is a delicious S dip, perfect for parties, potlucks, and other get togethers.
My husband doesn’t like sauerkraut, but he’ll eat Reuben sandwiches. Just keep the sauerkraut on the lighter side and he loves them. I can eat sauerkraut any way, any time, any day.
The thing with Reuben sandwiches, though, is the bread. On the Trim Healthy Mama plan, we have very specific guidelines for bread. Regular rye bread plus all the yummy fixin’s for Reubens, well that’s not really on plan.
So, let’s take those classic flavors and make them into a THM friendly hot dip! It’s really easy.
What’s In This Low Carb Baked Reuben Dip?
You just need a few simple ingredients for this hot, cheesy baked Reuben dip. It’s best with leftover corned beef, but canned works too. One 12 ounce can of corned beef equals about 2 cups.
The cheesy component of this baked Reuben dip comes from cream cheese and Swiss cheese. Don’t like Swiss? Provolone is a great substitute. Or, even mozzarella if that’s what you have.
Finally, you’ll need sauerkraut, of course, and Thousand Island dressing. I mixed up a quick and easy, sugar-free version below. Or, use the Thousand Island recipe in the first THM cookbook on page 472.
What To Serve With This Low Carb Reuben Dip?
If you’re not following the THM plan, feel free to use any of your favorite dippers.
But, for Trim Healthy Mamas, we want to enjoy this creamy, cheesy, dip with low carb options:
- Non-starchy veggies such as celery sticks
- One serving of Light Rye Wasa crackers
- Crispy, crunchy Air Fryer Chicken Crisps
- A spoon 😉
Mock Rye Cocktail Bread!
My Mock Rye Bread is great for making low carb Reuben sandwiches. You can also make it into cocktail bread very easily. Here’s how (or click here for the recipe post where you can print):
- Make a quadruple batch of the Mock Rye Bread recipe.
- Spread onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 10 minutes, or until cooked through.
- Allow to cool completely, then cut into cocktail bread sized pieces.
- You should get around 40 slices.
Perfect for parties! Or, freeze extra portions for snacking on later.
Can You Make It In A Slow Cooker Or On The Stove?
Sure! For a slow cooker, mix all the ingredients as directed then place into a greased slow cooker. Cook on low for 2 hours or so, until bubbly and melty.
Or, cook on high for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
To cook on the stove, just combine all the ingredients into a sauce pan and gently heat until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
How To Fit This Low Carb Baked Reuben Dip Into Your THM Meal Plan.
I’ve lightened this dip up just a bit by using fat free Greek yogurt instead of more cream cheese or sour cream. Because of the cheese and cream cheese in this recipe, it still falls into the Heavy S category, though.
TIP: enjoy Heavy S recipes in moderation. Too much cheese can, for some, slow or stall weight loss. Making Heavy S recipes like this one for parties, potlucks, and family gatherings is a great! Most people will love them and you won’t have a bunch of leftovers to tempt you later.
Since this is an S recipe, make sure to enjoy with low carb options. Keep 3 hours between this and an E fuel (or at least 2.5 hours).
Make my Sugar Free Thousand Island Dressing for your salads, too!
