Reuben Casserole

Ingredients

• 12 oz corned beef
• 16 oz sauerkraut
• 8 oz Swiss cheese
• 4 slice rye bread
• ¾ cup Thousand Island dressing
• 2 tbsp butter
• ½ tsp caraway seeds (optional)

Steps

1. Preheat oven to 375 0F (190 0C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
2. Drain sauerkraut well, pressing out excess liquid. Dice the corned beef into small pieces. Shred or slice the Swiss cheese.
3. In a large bowl, combine the diced corned beef, drained sauerkraut, half of the Swiss cheese, and Thousand Island dressing. Mix well.
4. Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Top with the remaining Swiss cheese.
5. Cut the rye bread slices into small cubes. In a small bowl, toss the bread cubes with melted butter and caraway seeds (if using). Sprinkle over the casserole.
6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the bread topping is golden brown and crispy.
7. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
