Ingredients

1 lb	sauerkraut, rinsed and drained
1 pkg	8 oz. cream cheese

I served this recipe at a valentine's Day party, and it was enjoyed by all of my guest. Instead of putting it on cocktail bread, I used whole wheat whole grain bread, and cut it into triangles. Can serve it right from the crock pot, but I chose to personalize the dish just a bit more, by making the appetizers and serving them on a platter. I did double the amount of corned Beef in the recipe and used real corned beef to add more flavor.

 

Directions

1

 Spray liner of crock pot/slow cooker, first and then then combine kraut, cream cheese, shredded swiss cheese, chopped corned beef and Thousand Island dressing in a small 1 1/2 quart size slow cooker/crockpot.

2

 Cover and cook on LOW for 2 hours, or until cheeses are melted; Stir to blend. Serve warm, with bread or crackers. Refrigerate leftovers. Makes about 3 1/2 cups.

 I wanted my appetizer to be more personal & full of flavor so I made the snacks using whole grain whole wheat bread, and cut them in triangles, and served them from a platter. I chose to use real corned beef for added flavor.
