Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine sour cream, parsley flakes, Beau Monde seasoning, mayonnaise, dill weed, minced onion, and shredded corned beef in a bowl.
- Cut off the top of the bread loaf like you would cut a pumpkin.
- Pull out the insides in bite-sized pieces to use as dippers.
- Tear up the top of the loaf also.
- Fill the inside of the loaf with the prepared dip.
- Repeat the process to fill 2 loaves or serve the dip twice in the same loaf.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter version, substitute Greek yogurt for half of the sour cream. If you can't find Beau Monde seasoning, a mix of celery salt, onion powder, and black pepper can work well. Make sure to chop the corned beef finely to blend well with the dip. If you're looking for a twist, consider adding some chopped pickles for an extra crunch.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this dip with fresh vegetable sticks, pretzels, or crackers for a delightful crunch. It pairs beautifully with a side of meatballs, such as those in the 'Delicious Meat Loaf' or 'Meatball Soup.' You can also serve it alongside a salad for a complete party spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. If the dip thickens after chilling, stir in a little bit of sour cream or mayonnaise to reach your desired consistency. Avoid freezing the dip, as it may change the texture once thawed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this dip ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dip a day in advance. Just mix all the ingredients and refrigerate it in an airtight container. This allows the flavors to meld, making it even tastier when served. Just remember to give it a good stir before serving to restore the creamy texture.
What type of bread should I use for the dip?
A hearty rye or pumpernickel loaf works best for this dip, as it adds flavor and stands up well to the creamy filling. You can also use sourdough or any crusty bread if you prefer. Just ensure the bread is fresh for the best dipping experience.
Can I substitute the corned beef in the recipe?
Absolutely! If you're looking for a vegetarian option, consider using chopped mushrooms or a mix of beans. For a different flavor, try using shredded chicken or turkey. These substitutions will still create a delicious and creamy dip that everyone will enjoy.
