Ingredients
Scale
Dip Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sauerkraut, drained
- 1 cup diced corned beef
- 1/2 cup Thousand Island dressing
Cheese Topping
- 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a slow cooker, add the softened cream cheese, drained sauerkraut, diced corned beef, and Thousand Island dressing. Make sure the cream cheese is broken up to help mixing.
- Mix Well: Stir the ingredients thoroughly until evenly combined, ensuring the corned beef and sauerkraut pieces are well distributed throughout the cream cheese mixture.
- Add Cheese Topping: Sprinkle the shredded Swiss and cheddar cheeses evenly over the top of the mixture in the slow cooker to create a melty cheese layer while cooking.
- Cook Low and Slow: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on low heat for 2 to 3 hours. This slow cooking process melts the cheeses and allows flavors to meld beautifully.
- Stir Occasionally: Every so often during the cooking time, stir the dip to blend the melted cheeses into the mixture and ensure it heats evenly and smoothly.
- Serve Warm: When the dip is hot and bubbly with fully melted cheese, transfer to a serving dish if desired and serve alongside tortilla chips or slices of rye bread for dipping.
Notes
- Drain the sauerkraut well to prevent excess moisture in the dip.
- Use softened cream cheese for easier mixing and smoother texture.
- Adjust cooking time slightly if your slow cooker runs hot or cool.
- For a spicier twist, add a dash of hot sauce to the dip before cooking.
- This dip can be kept warm on the slow cooker’s low setting for up to 1 hour after cooking.
