Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • Crunchy dill pickles – finely chopped, about 1 cup
  • Corned beef – thinly sliced or diced finely, 1 cup
  • Cream cheese – softened, 8 oz
  • Sour cream – ½ cup
  • Mayonnaise – ¼ cup
  • Chopped green onions – 2 tablespoons
  • Shredded cheese (cheddar or preferred sharp cheese) – ½ cup
  • Seasonings: garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste

Optional Ingredients

  • Fresh herbs (dill or parsley) – 1 to 2 tablespoons, chopped
  • Jalapeños or hot sauce – for a spicy kick, to taste
  • Cheese alternatives (Swiss or smoked gouda) – substitute as desired
  • Herb boost: fresh thyme or chives – 1 tablespoon, chopped
  • Different pickles (bread-and-butter or spicy pickles) – substitute as preferred

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Finely chop the corned beef and crunchy dill pickles into small, bite-sized pieces to ensure balanced and easy-to-eat bites.
  2. Mix the Creamy Base: In a large bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and creamy, creating a perfect foundation for the dip.
  3. Combine All Components: Fold in the chopped corned beef, pickles, green onions, shredded cheese, and seasonings (garlic powder, salt, and pepper). Mix gently but thoroughly to evenly distribute all ingredients.
  4. Chill and Let Flavors Meld: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least one hour. This resting time allows the flavors to meld and enhances the overall taste of the dip.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the dip cold or at room temperature with your favorite crackers, toasted bread slices, or crunchy vegetable sticks such as celery and carrots for a delightful snack.

Notes

  • Use crunchy, firm pickles to avoid sogginess in the dip.
  • Choose freshly sliced corned beef or high-quality deli meat for the best flavor.
  • Allow cream cheese and mayonnaise to soften at room temperature before mixing to ensure a smooth blend.
  • Taste test the dip before chilling and adjust seasonings as needed since flavors intensify after refrigeration.
  • Serve the dip soon after chilling to keep the pickles crisp and the dip fresh.
  • Leftover dip can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
  • This dip is not recommended for freezing due to the creamy base, which may separate after thawing.
  • Reheating isn’t advisable; if a warm version is desired, heat the corned beef separately and combine with fresh creamy ingredients before serving.
