Ingredients

• 6 slices Rye bread
• 3 tablespoons Butter
• 3 cups Deli corned beef
• 2 cups Sauerkraut
• 1 cup Thousand Island dressing
• 2 cups Swiss cheese
• 1 teaspoon Ground caraway seeds (optional)
• 1 as needed Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray.

Step 2

Cut the rye bread into 1-inch cubes. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the bread cubes and toss to coat, toasting them for 3-4 minutes until crisp and golden. Set aside.

Step 3

Roughly chop the deli corned beef into bite-sized pieces and evenly layer it in the prepared casserole dish.

Step 4

Drain the sauerkraut well, pressing out any excess liquid, and spread it over the corned beef layer.

Step 5

Drizzle the Thousand Island dressing over the sauerkraut, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 6

Sprinkle the shredded Swiss cheese over the top of the sauerkraut mixture. If using, add a light dusting of ground caraway seeds for extra flavor.

Step 7

Scatter the toasted rye bread cubes over the top, ensuring an even layer to create the casserole's crust.

Step 8

Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the bread cubes are golden brown.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and allow the casserole to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy this warm, Reuben-inspired dish!
