Ingredients

• 6 slices rye bread
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 12 ounces cooked corned beef, chopped
• 1.5 cups sauerkraut, drained and squeezed dry
• 0.75 cups Thousand Island dressing
• 2 cups shredded Swiss cheese
• 0.5 cups heavy cream
• 0 dill pickle slices (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Trim the edges of the rye bread slices, if desired, and cut them into 1-inch cubes. Spread the cubes out on a baking sheet.

Step 3

Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter over the bread cubes, tossing to coat evenly.

Step 4

Toast the buttered bread cubes in the preheated oven for about 8–10 minutes or until lightly crisp and golden. Remove from the oven and let cool.

Step 5

In the prepared 9x13-inch baking dish, spread half of the toasted bread cubes in an even layer to form the casserole’s base.

Step 6

Layer half of the chopped corned beef over the bread cubes, followed by half of the sauerkraut. Drizzle half of the Thousand Island dressing evenly over the layer.

Step 7

Sprinkle 1 cup of the shredded Swiss cheese over the mixture. Repeat the layering process with the remaining bread cubes, corned beef, sauerkraut, dressing, and cheese.

Step 8

Pour the heavy cream evenly over the entire casserole, ensuring it soaks through the layers.

Step 9

Cover the dish 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 cheese is bubbly and golden.

Step 11

Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with dill pickle slices, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
