Classic Hearty Reuben Bake

45 min

A comforting casserole that combines the flavors of a classic Reuben sandwich with the ease of a bake.

Ingredients

  • 8 slices Rye bread, cubed
  • 1 pound Corned beef, thinly sliced or shredded
  • 1 can (14 ounces) Sauerkraut, drained and rinsed
  • 2 cups Swiss cheese, grated
  • 1 cup Thousand Island dressing

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.

  2. 2

    Cube the rye bread into bite-sized pieces and layer half of them evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

  3. 3

    Evenly lay half the corned beef over the bread layer, followed by half of the sauerkraut, and then half of the Swiss cheese.

  4. 4

    Drizzle half of the Thousand Island dressing over this first layer.

  5. 5

    Repeat the layers with the remaining bread, corned beef, sauerkraut, and Swiss cheese.

  6. 6

    Finish by drizzling the rest of the Thousand Island dressing on top.

  7. 7

    Lightly press the layers down with a spatula to compact slightly and ensure everything bakes together.

  8. 8

    Cover the dish loosely with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and lightly golden.

  9. 9

    Let the bake rest for 10 minutes before serving. Slice into generous squares and savor that classic flavor!
