Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound deli corned beef, chopped
  • 1 can sauerkraut, drained (about 14–16 ounces)
  • 2 cups shredded Swiss cheese
  • 1/2 cup Thousand Island dressing
  • 1/4 cup chopped dill pickles
  • 8 slices rye bread, cubed
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the casserole.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped corned beef, drained sauerkraut, shredded Swiss cheese, Thousand Island dressing, and chopped dill pickles. Mix well to evenly distribute all flavors.
  3. Add Bread and Butter: Add the cubed rye bread and melted butter to the mixture. Stir gently until everything is thoroughly combined and the bread absorbs the butter and dressing.
  4. Transfer to Baking Dish: Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish, then transfer the mixture into the dish, spreading it out evenly.
  5. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and the top is nicely golden brown.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove the bake from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your hearty Homemade Reuben Bake!

Notes

  • Drain the sauerkraut well to avoid excess moisture in the bake.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of Thousand Island dressing based on your preference for tanginess.
  • You can substitute rye bread with pumpernickel or any sturdy bread to suit your taste.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven or microwave.
  • For added texture, sprinkle some extra Swiss cheese on top during the last 5 minutes of baking.
