Well, here we are folks. The beginning of what could be a long and lasting relationship. Nana all week + Superbowl = delicious and fattening football gluttony. A match made in heaven.
Or hell.
Or maybe just heartburn.
Nana, with the Lepore family. From left: Larry, Peggy, Nana, Al. The Lepores lived a few houses down the street in Hayward. They were good buddies.
This dip is like the Reuben sandwich, sans the bread. Except that you serve this with rye toast points or rye Melba toast. Or rye or pumpernickel cocktail bread. Or Rye Triscuits, which is what I have today. Have you had rye Triscuits? They’re wonderful.
Looks weird, but tastes good.
In a small saucepan, combine room temperature cream cheese, Swiss cheese, chopped corned beef, sauerkraut and sour cream. Heat through on low heat till combined and hot. That’s it. I got corned beef from the deli but I’m thinking this would be smashing with leftovers from St. Patrick’s day.
RYE Triscuit!
Garnish with a bit of spare Swiss cheese and slather on rye crackers. Mmmmm. Good. Really! Don’t let the photos fool you, I realize it looks a little odd. A little pink. Just close your eyes. Just like a Reuben sandwich!
The reuben dip is ready for it's close-up.

okay – I can’t even go here – just attach block of cream cheese to my ass! I love seeing the pic of Nana and the Lepores yucking it up. She’s probably about to crush them at Spite and Malice.
Rye Triscuits were already on the superbowl shopping list because they are awesome but i am adding the ingredients for Nana’s Reuben dip so we can experience the magical combination this sunday.
