  • Author: Sarah White
  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: 6–8 servings

Description

A hearty baked casserole with all the flavors of a classic Reuben sandwich—corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, and creamy dressing.


Ingredients

  • 1 pound corned beef, chopped

  • 1 can (14 oz) sauerkraut, drained

  • 1 cup Swiss cheese, shredded

  • 4 cups rye bread, cubed

  • 1 cup Thousand Island dressing

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 cup milk

  • 1 tablespoon butter, for greasing


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish with butter.

  2. Cube the rye bread into 1-inch pieces and lightly toast in the oven for 5–7 minutes.

  3. In the casserole dish, layer half of the toasted bread cubes, followed by half of the chopped corned beef.

  4. Spread half of the drained sauerkraut over the corned beef and sprinkle with half of the shredded Swiss cheese.

  5. Repeat the layers with the remaining bread, corned beef, sauerkraut, and Swiss cheese.

  6. In a bowl, whisk together the Thousand Island dressing, eggs, and milk, then pour evenly over the casserole.

  7. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 15–20 minutes until cheese is golden and bubbly.

  8. Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

 This casserole can be assembled a day ahead and refrigerated. Leftovers store well in the fridge for up to 4 days and reheat nicely in the oven. Serve with a green salad or pickles for a complete meal.
