This is a great hot dip based on a Reuben sandwich. If you are a fan of the sandwich you will adore this appetizer. It is easy to make and smells & tastes wonderful. As it bubbles in the oven the flavor permeates the air. It is easy to make an a welcome addition to a buffet, game day party or any time you need something to serve friends. It is best right out of the oven so transporting is not recommended. Great served with pretzel crackers, if desired ,or serve with Cocktail rye bread slices or both. Enjoy! ChefDLH
