Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 16 oz Cream Cheese softened, full-fat
  • 1 cup Sour Cream full-fat
  • 2 cups Swiss Cheese shredded, divided
  • 1 lb Cooked Corned Beef finely diced
  • 15 oz Sauerkraut well-drained and squeezed dry
  • 1/2 cup Thousand Island Dressing or Russian dressing
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/4 tsp Black Pepper freshly ground
  • Rye Bread or Pumpernickel for serving, cubed or toasted slices
  • 1 tbsp Fresh Parsley chopped, for garnish (optional)

Equipment

  • Slow Cooker (3-4 quart)
  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • Spatula or wooden spoon

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, 1 cup of shredded Swiss cheese, finely diced cooked corned beef, and well-drained sauerkraut.
  2. Add the Thousand Island dressing, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined and evenly distributed.
  3. Transfer the prepared dip mixture to the slow cooker insert. Spread it out evenly.
  4. Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 2 hours, or on HIGH for 1 hour. Stir the dip once halfway through the cooking time to ensure even heating.
  5. During the last 15-20 minutes of cooking, sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded Swiss cheese over the top of the hot dip. Re-cover the slow cooker and continue cooking until the cheese is completely melted and gooey.
  6. Once ready, give the dip a gentle stir. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired. Serve hot directly from the slow cooker with rye bread cubes, pumpernickel bread, pita chips, or sturdy crackers.

Notes

For best results, ensure the sauerkraut is very well-drained and squeezed dry to prevent the dip from becoming watery. You can also brown the corned beef slightly before adding for extra depth of flavor, or use high-quality leftover deli corned beef. This dip can be kept warm on the 'Warm' setting of your slow cooker for up to 1-2 hours after cooking.
