A simple, comforting casserole that captures the flavors of a classic Reuben sandwich in an easy baked dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound cooked corned beef, chopped
  • 1 (16 ounce) can sauerkraut, drained well
  • 1 cup Thousand Island dressing
  • 12 slices rye bread, cubed
  • 8 ounces Swiss cheese, shredded
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the chopped corned beef, drained sauerkraut, and Thousand Island dressing. Mix until evenly coated.
  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the melted butter and Dijon mustard.
  4. Layer half of the cubed rye bread in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  5. Spread the corned beef mixture evenly over the bread layer.
  6. Sprinkle half of the shredded Swiss cheese over the meat mixture.
  7. Top with the remaining cubed rye bread.
  8. Pour the butter and mustard mixture evenly over the top layer of bread.
  9. Sprinkle the remaining Swiss cheese over the top.
  10. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the top is lightly browned.
  11. Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For best results, squeeze as much liquid as possible from the sauerkraut before mixing.
  • You can substitute pastrami for corned beef if you prefer.
  • If you want a crispier top, place the dish under the broiler for the last minute, watching closely.
