Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups shredded cooked corned beef
- 2 cups shredded Swiss cheese
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
Dairy and Condiments:
- 1/4 cup thousand island dressing
Vegetable:
- 1 (16 ounce) jar sauerkraut, drained
Instructions
- Place sauerkraut, cream cheese, Swiss cheese, corned beef, and thousand island dressing into the slow cooker, mixing ingredients thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
- Cover and heat on high for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent cheese from sticking and promote uniform melting.
- Verify the dip is hot and cheese has completely melted, with ingredients fully incorporated and smooth in texture.
- Transfer the creamy, tangy mixture to a serving dish, ensuring even spreading for optimal presentation.
- Accompany the rich, savory dip with cocktail rye bread or crisp crackers for optimal dipping experience.
Notes
- For a lighter version, swap full-fat cream cheese with low-fat or Greek yogurt cream cheese to reduce calories without sacrificing flavor.
- Transform this dip into a gluten-free option by using gluten-free crackers or vegetable sticks like cucumber and carrot for dipping.
- Enhance the flavor profile by adding a splash of beer or white wine during cooking, which deepens the richness of the corned beef and creates a more complex taste.
- Prep ingredients ahead of time and store in the slow cooker insert overnight in the refrigerator, then simply place in the slow cooker base and start cooking when ready.
