Can I make this dip in a slow cooker instead of the oven?

Absolutely! Layer the ingredients in your slow cooker the same way you would in a baking dish. Cook on low for 2-3 hours or on high for 1-1.5 hours until everything is melted and bubbly. This method is perfect for keeping the dip warm during parties.

What's the best way to shred corned beef?

Ask your deli to slice the corned beef thickly, then shred it yourself with two forks pulling in opposite directions. Alternatively, you can chop it into small pieces. For convenience, some stores sell pre-shredded corned beef around St. Patrick's Day.

My dip seems too oily after baking. What happened?

This can happen if your cheese has a high fat content. Simply blot the excess oil with a paper towel before serving. You can also try using part-skim Swiss cheese next time.

Can I use fresh sauerkraut instead of canned or jarred?

Fresh sauerkraut works wonderfully and often provides better texture and flavor. Just make sure to drain and rinse it thoroughly, the same as you would with canned or jarred varieties.
