The culinary journey of crafting a Reuben Casserole

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Set your oven to 350°F.
    • Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with a little butter.
  2. Create the Bread Base:
    • Place the rye bread cubes evenly in the greased dish.
  3. Layer the Ingredients:
    • Sprinkle the chopped corned beef over the bread cubes.
    • Add a layer of sauerkraut, followed by shredded Swiss cheese.
  4. Prepare the Dressing Mixture:
    • In a bowl, whisk together Thousand Island dressing, milk, and eggs.
    • Pour this mixture over the casserole, making sure it reaches every part.
  5. Optional Flavor Addition:
    • If using caraway seeds, sprinkle them on top for an authentic flavor.
    • Season with salt and pepper according to your taste.
  6. Bake to Perfection:
    • Bake the uncovered casserole for 35 to 40 minutes.
    • It’s ready when the edges bubble, and the cheese forms a golden-brown blanket.
  7. Let It Settle:
    • Allow the casserole to stand for a few minutes after taking it out. This helps it settle and stay warm.
  8. Serve and Enjoy:
    • Slice and serve your delicious Reuben Casserole.
    • Pair it with a salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
