For an enhanced depth of flavor, consider sautéing the sauerkraut with a touch of butter and caraway seeds before adding it to the slow cooker. Feel free to adjust the amount of Thousand Island dressing to suit your preferred level of tanginess. To prevent the dip from drying out, stir in a tablespoon or two of beef broth or pickle juice before serving if needed. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the mixture. This dip can also be baked in a cast iron skillet at 350°F (175°C) for about 20-25 minutes, or until bubbly and golden brown on top.
