We've turned a favorite sandwich into a family-pleasing casserole. It contains all the ingredients and flavors of a traditional Reuben. So what are you waiting for? Dig in!
What You'll Need
- 1 (32-ounce) jar sauerkraut, drained
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 1/4 cups sour cream
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 4 (2.5-ounce) packages thinly sliced corned beef, cut into thin strips
- 2 1/2 cups (10 ounces) shredded Swiss cheese
- 8 slices rye bread
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
What to Do
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Press sauerkraut between paper towels to remove excess moisture.
-
Combine sauerkraut, onion, sour cream, and garlic powder; stir well. Spoon mixture into a lightly greased 9- x 13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle corned beef evenly over sauerkraut mixture; top with cheese.
-
Remove crusts from bread; cut each slice in half diagonally. Arrange bread triangles over cheese, completely covering top of casserole; brush with melted butter. Bake 35 minutes or until bread is lightly browned.

I also added thousand island dressing to the mix, then I used a smaller baking dish, 8" x 8", and I made the dish layered, like a lasagna and topped it with a bit more cheese. Served it with a nice green salad and it was a hit.

The addition of the dressing sounds great.I would like to do it with rye bread crumbs over the top, or cubed rye, rather than slices.Can't wait to try it!

THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE SANDWHICHES. I FIND IT HARD TO FIND IT IN MOST RESTAURANTS. ONLY A FEW MIGHT HAVE IT ON THEIR MENU. SO, THEREFORE, HAVING THIS RECIPE, WHICH SOUNDS DELICIOUS AND EASY TO FIX, I'M A "HAPPY CAMPER"!!

If you use the 1 cup of Thousand Island dressing, do you add that to the 1 1/4 cup of sour cream?
