How to Make Slow Cooker Hot Reuben Dip

And you aren’t going to believe how easy it is to make this Hot Reuben Dip in the Slow Cooker.

drained sauerkraut
Be sure to drain most of the liquid from your Sauerkraut to prevent the dip from being too runny.

Although it is very simple, as in a true ‘dump and go’ recipe, there are a few hints to make it perfect.

First, start with cream cheese that is softened to room temperature. Although it isn’t absolutely critical, cream cheese that is softened will cook much faster.

Next, be sure to cut your corned beef into small pieces. Because this is a dip, you don’t want large chunks of beef scattered randomly throughout.

This recipe couldn’t be easier – simply add all the ingredients to the slow cooker.

And finally, when it comes to the sauerkraut, drain it in a colander before adding it to your slow cooker. If you simply add the sauerkraut from the jar or bag, the dip will become too thin.

Simply drain it in a colander and push the sauerkraut down with your hand or a measuring cup to release the hidden liquid.

Stir the ingredients together half way through the cooking process. The dip is ready when it is hot and bubbly.

Then add all of the Reuben dip ingredients to your small, 3 quart slow cooker. Cook on high for 2-3 hours, stirring half way through. Once everything is melted, serve with crackers, chips and/or vegetables.
