A hearty and comforting Reuben casserole featuring layers of corned beef, tangy sauerkraut, melted Swiss cheese, and a creamy Thousand Island dressing baked to perfection.

Ingredients

  • Corned Beef: 1 pound, sliced or chopped – Provides savory, flavorful meat throughout the bake.
  • Rye Bread: 8 slices, cubed – Forms the base and absorbs the delicious flavors.
  • Sauerkraut: 1 cup, drained – Adds tangy flavor and slight crunch.
  • Swiss Cheese: 2 cups, shredded – Melts to create gooey, cheesy layers.
  • Thousand Island or Russian Dressing: 3/4 cup – Adds creamy, tangy flavor and moisture.
  • Butter: 2 tablespoons, melted – Brushed over bread for golden, crisp layers.
  • Salt and Pepper: To taste – Enhances all flavors.

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Equipment: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Combine Ingredients: Mix Thousand Island or Russian dressing with melted butter.
  3. Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  4. Assemble the Dish: Layer half the bread, corned beef, sauerkraut, and cheese. Repeat layers and pour dressing over top.
  5. Cook to Perfection: Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake 10-15 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden.
  6. Finishing Touches: Let rest for 5 minutes to set.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Cut into squares and serve warm.

Notes
