A delightful comfort dish that combines corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, and rye bread into a delicious baked casserole.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound corned beef, chopped
  • 1 cup sauerkraut, drained and squeezed dry
  • 1 cup Swiss cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup Russian or Thousand Island dressing
  • 1 loaf of rye bread, cut into cubes (about 6 cups)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon caraway seeds (optional)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, and dressing. Mix until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, toss the rye bread cubes with melted butter and caraway seeds (if using) until evenly coated.
  4. In a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, layer half of the buttered rye bread cubes on the bottom.
  5. Spread the corned beef mixture evenly over the bread layer.
  6. Top with the remaining buttered rye bread cubes.
  7. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
  8. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy.
  9. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian version, substitute the corned beef with sautéed mushrooms and add extra cheese.
  • Experiment with different types of cheese, such as cheddar or pepper jack, for a unique flavor twist.
