To Assemble
- In a large bowl, combine the pasta/cabbage mixture, sauerkraut, and the corned beef mixture. Add the sauce and mix well.
- Spread into a greased 9×13 baking dish. Combine all topping ingredients and sprinkle over pasta.
- Bake uncovered for 18-22 minutes or until hot and bubbly.
Notes
- For a milder Swiss flavor, replace half of the Swiss cheese with mozzarella cheese.
- Use leftover cooked corned beef or deli corned beef. Ask the deli to slice the corned beef extra thick, and then chop it into chunks.
- Corned beef can be replaced with ham.
- Cabbage can be replaced with leftover cooked cabbage.
- Pasta can be replaced with 3 cups of cooked potatoes. Place warm cooked potatoes in the bottom of the baking dish. Fry the cabbage with the corned beef and onions. Once tender layer the corned beef mixture over the potatoes, pour the cheese sauce overtop and sprinkle with crumbs. Bake as directed.
- Refrigerate leftovers for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven or in the microwave until heated through.
