Recipe: #DoUsAFlavor with the Lay's brand and my delicious Reuben Dip

My name is Heather and I’m addicted to Reubens. Literally if it’s on the menu – I order it. I moved to Cincinnati, OH 10+ years ago and was giddy to find out there was a restaurant that specializes in Reubens! It’s been my one of my favorite stops for years. Imagine the thought process when I saw that Lays was having their “Do Us A Flavor” contest again! Lays – Flavor – Reubens – BOOM!

To make sure this flavor combo would work – I decided to whip up a Reuben Dip and try it out with my ever-present bag of Lay’s Potato Chips!

It’s easy to whip up – take everything (but the bread) that goes into a reuben and mix it together! Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, pastrami, thousand island dressing + cream cheese = deliciousness!

There you have it – I created my own personal flavor for Lays Reuben style chips! And doesn’t it look great – it took me a total of 30 seconds too – how simple is that!

There are a couple of different ways to make this Reuben Dip – you can bake it in a dish or use your slow cooker. It’s important to let the cream cheese get to room temperature and then dice it up – it makes it much easier to mix together with the other ingredients.

The Lay’s brand is also doing something cool this year with their contest – they want you to come up with a flavor that is inspired by your city! Now I know – the obvious for Cincinnati – is the Chili – and I considered it but I was hooked on Reubens in this city before I was addicted to the chili! 🙂

I topped the dip with a bit of cheese before I put it in the oven and it was so delicious. It was tart with the thousand island and sauerkraut – but also meaty and cheesy. So good!
