The backstory.

Reuben flavors are one of those things that just work - salty beef, tangy sauerkraut, creamy dressing, and melted cheese. Turning a reuben sandwich into a slow cooker dip felt like a no-brainer, especially for game days, holidays, or anytime you need a hands-off appetizer that serves a crowd.

This slow cooker reuben dip is a keeper for so many reasons.

• Crowd-friendly. This dip recipe makes enough to serve a group without constant refills.
• Big deli flavor. All the classic reuben flavors are here in every bite.
• Easy prep. Everything goes straight into the crock pot with minimal prep time.
• Warm and creamy. The slow cooker keeps the cheese perfectly melted for hours.

Let's talk flavor and texture.

This crock pot reuben dip uses simple ingredients you may already recognize from a traditional reuben sandwich.

• Corned beef: Canned corn beef works great here, but sliced corned beef chopped into small pieces also works well.
• Sauerkraut: Be sure it's well drained so the dip doesn't turn watery.
• Thousand island dressing: You'll need about ¾ cup thousand island for classic flavor.
• Cheese: Swiss cheese gives you that signature reuben taste, while cream cheese makes the dip rich and smooth.
• Dressing options: Thousand island dressing is traditional, but russian dressing can be used if that's what you prefer.

Kori's tips.

• Drain the sauerkraut really well to keep the texture creamy instead of loose.
• Stir the dip every 30 minutes so the cheese melts evenly.
• If the dip thickens too much over time, stir in a small splash of thousand island dressing to loosen it up.
