FAQs

Can I make this dip ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the dip ingredients in the crock pot insert, cover it, and refrigerate overnight. When ready to serve, cook on high for about 2 hours or until heated through.

What can I use if I don’t have sauerkraut?

If you don’t have sauerkraut, you can substitute with finely chopped pickles or omit it for a less tangy dip, although the sauerkraut adds the signature Reuben flavor.
