Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound sliced corned beef, chopped
  • 1 (16 ounce) can sauerkraut, drained well
  • 1 (8 ounce) package Swiss cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup Thousand Island dressing
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon caraway seeds (optional)
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 12 slices rye bread, crusts removed and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the chopped corned beef, drained sauerkraut, 8 ounces of shredded Swiss cheese, Thousand Island dressing, Dijon mustard, and caraway seeds. Mix these ingredients until they are evenly coated.
  3. In a separate bowl, toss the cubed rye bread with the melted butter until the bread pieces are lightly coated.
  4. Spread half of the buttered rye bread cubes evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  5. Spoon the corned beef and sauerkraut mixture over the bread layer and spread it out.
  6. Top the mixture evenly with the remaining buttered rye bread cubes.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of Swiss cheese over the top layer of bread.
  8. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the casserole is hot throughout and the cheese on top is melted and lightly golden brown.
  9. Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before you serve it hot.

Notes

  • For an even richer flavor, use marbled rye bread.
  • If you prefer a tangier profile, rinse the sauerkraut lightly before draining it thoroughly.
  • This dish reheats well, making it good for meal prep.
