Ingredients

• 6 slices Rye bread
• 3 tablespoons Butter
• 1 pound Corned beef
• 8 ounces Swiss cheese
• 2 cups Sauerkraut
• 1 cup Thousand Island dressing
• 0.5 cup Dill pickles (optional, for garnish)
• 1 teaspoon Caraway seeds (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.

Step 2

Cut the rye bread slices into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl. Melt the butter in a microwave or small saucepan, then drizzle it over the bread cubes. Toss to coat evenly.

Step 3

Layer half of the buttered bread cubes evenly in the prepared baking dish.

Step 4

Roughly chop the corned beef into bite-sized pieces and distribute it over the bread layer.

Step 5

Sprinkle the sauerkraut evenly over the corned beef, spreading it out to cover the entire layer.

Step 6

Drizzle the Thousand Island dressing across the sauerkraut, spreading it evenly with the back of a spoon.

Step 7

Sprinkle shredded Swiss cheese (or layer with slices) evenly over the dressing. If using, sprinkle caraway seeds over the cheese for an extra hint of rye flavor.

Step 8

Top everything with the remaining buttered bread cubes, creating one final layer.

Step 9

Cover the casserole with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

Step 10

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the top layer is golden brown and slightly crispy.

Step 11

Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Optionally, garnish with chopped dill pickles for a tangy crunch.

Step 12

Serve warm as the perfect comfort dish for any occasion!
