Preparation

Step 1

use corned beef from the deli section of my grocery store.  I ask them to shave it so that it’s very thin.  Here’s a look at some of the ingredients that go in the casserole—everything that you would find on a Reuben sandwich:  rye bread, corned beef, Swiss cheese, dill pickles, and sauerkraut.

I also add some caraway seeds.

After you assemble all of the layers, you pour a sauce over the top which contains mustard and Thousand Island dressing.  Bake it in the oven, and it comes out delicious!

Butter an 11×7-inch baking dish. Cut three pieces of the bread into cubes and line the bottom of the dish with them. Cover with half of the corned beef. Make additional layers in this order: sauerkraut, pickles, caraway seeds, 2 cups of cheese, the remaining beef, and the remaining cheese. With a whisk, beat together the eggs, milk, mustard and Thousand Island dresssing until well mixed. Pour over the casserole. Let stand while the oven is heating. Preheat the oven to 350. Make fresh bread crumbs with the remaining two slices of bread using a blender or food processor. Sprinkle bread crumbs over the top of the casserole. Bake at 350 for 40 minutes or until set in the center.
