Reuben Casserole
Description
This casserole begins with a base of coarsely chopped sliced deli corned beef, topped with well-drained and rinsed sauerkraut to reduce excess moisture and tanginess. Thousand Island dressing is drizzled over the sauerkraut, followed by a generous layer of shredded Swiss cheese. Cubed rye bread is evenly spread on top and lightly sprayed or buttered to encourage browning. Baking at 400°F for 20-25 minutes melts the cheese and crisps the bread layer.
The resulting casserole has layers of savory meat, sharp and sour kraut, creamy dressing, and melted cheese, complemented by the crunchy rye bread topping. It works well as a comforting main or side dish, echoing the flavor profile of a Reuben sandwich without assembly.
Rinsing and drying the sauerkraut prevents a soggy casserole. Using deli-sliced corned beef simplifies preparation. Toasting bread cubes by spraying or buttering helps achieve a golden finish.
Ingredients
- 1 pound corned beef sliced deli, coarsely chopped
- 16 ounces sauerkraut drained and rinsed
- 1 cup Thousand Island dressing for salad
- 2 1/2 /2 cups swiss cheese shredded
- 6 lices rye bread cubed
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Layer corned beef on the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish.
- Make sure the sauerkraut is drained and patted dry. Sprinkle it on top of the beef.
- Drizzle the dressing on top of the sauerkraut and sprinkle the Swiss cheese on top.
- Arrange the diced bread on top of the casserole and lightly spray it with cooking spray so that it toasts up nicely (or you can butter the bread).
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until bread is toasted and cheese has melted.
Notes
- Drain and rinse sauerkraut thoroughly to reduce moisture and strong sourness before layering.
- Lightly spray or butter bread cubes so they toast nicely during baking.
- Adapted from an Allrecipes source, this recipe simplifies the Reuben sandwich flavors in a casserole form.
