Always a fan favorite! I've had people comments that they'd sit there and finish the entire dish if it didn't make them look bad :)

Made this for our Christmas appetizers and it was a HUGE hit. Toasted the rye bread and cut into bite sized pieces. I forgot about the Thousand Island dressing and it didn't make a difference. I'll try it next time. Didn't rinse the sauerkraut either. This was fantastic. A nice change from the usual appetizers.

I prepared the dip exactly as directed, took it to a family reunion, and stood back to avoid the stampede! it was well beyond being a hit. I served it with Triscuit rye crackers, by the way.Thank you Mary Jane for sharing this superb recipe!

This was amazing and perfect for our potluck at work! I used light sour cream and light cream cheese and it was still delicious. Took others advice and didn't rinse sauerkraut and added a splash of thousand island dressing. Served with rye bread and rye triscuits. Tasted just like eating a Reuben sandwich :)

Good taste, but wasn't very soft, the crackers would break when you tried to spread them. I think Thousand Island dressing would help with that problem & add more to the flavor.

I make the same kind of dip but don't use sour cream, use a small can of cream of chicken soup instead. Really good with garlic peta chips too.

This is really good. I added1 heaping tbl of 1000 Island Dressing. I prefer Russian Dressing but always seem to get out voted. As others have said, DO NOT rinse Kraut. Served with small Jewish Rye Party Bread slices.

I tried this with rye bread and it just felt like something was missing - switched to whole grain chips and it was way better! I would recommend some thousand island dressing on the side.
