Hubby’s go-to request! The sauce is the magic touch

Growing up in a German household, I was no stranger to the delectable flavors of a classic Reuben sandwich. The tangy sauerkraut, the layers of tender corned beef, the melted Swiss cheese, and the zesty Russian dressing all nestled between slices of perfectly toasted rye bread – it was a taste that always left me craving for more. As I ventured into the world of cooking and recipe experimentation, I knew I had to find a way to enjoy the deliciousness of a Reuben sandwich without all the hassle of assembling each individual component. That’s when I stumbled upon the Reuben Casserole – a brilliantly simple dish that encapsulates the essence of a Reuben sandwich in one mouthwatering bite.
I remember the first time I made this Reuben Casserole for my family. As they took their first bite, their eyes widened with delight and they couldn’t help but exclaim how it tasted just like a Reuben sandwich, only better. The flavors melded together beautifully, creating a harmonious symphony of tastes that left everyone asking for seconds. Since then, this recipe has become a regular feature on our family dinner table, and it never fails to impress both friends and guests who are fortunate enough to sample it.
Ingredients:
1 pound of sliced corned beef or pastrami
6 slices of rye bread, divided
1 can (14.5 oz.) of sauerkraut
1 cup of diced dill pickles
4 cups of shredded Swiss cheese
2 teaspoons of caraway seeds
1 cup of milk
3 large eggs
1/4 cup of mustard
1/4 cup of Thousand Island dressing
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and set it aside.
Take 4 slices of rye bread and cut them into 1-inch cubes. Spread the cubes evenly on the bottom of the greased baking dish.
Layer the sliced corned beef or pastrami on top of the bread cubes, covering them evenly.
Drain the sauerkraut well to remove excess liquid. Spread the sauerkraut evenly over the meat layer.
Sprinkle the diced dill pickles over the sauerkraut layer.
Spread 2 cups of shredded Swiss cheese over the pickle layer, ensuring even coverage.
