Equipment

  • Baking Dish
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Measuring cups
  • Whisk
  • Aluminum foil
  • Spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 6 cups RYE BREAD cubes
  • 1 lb CORNED BEEF chopped
  • 1 can SAUERKRAUT drained
  • 2 cups SWISS CHEESE shredded
  • 1 cup THOUSAND ISLAND DRESSING
  • 1/2 cup WHOLE MILK
  • 1/4 cup MELTED BUTTER
  • 1 tsp CARAWAY SEEDS

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven: Set it to 350 degrees. Grease your large baking dish well.
  • Prepare the bread: Cut your rye bread into small cubes. Place them in the bottom of the pan.
  • Add the beef: Chop your corned beef into bite-sized pieces. Layer them evenly over the bread cubes.
  • Add the sauerkraut: Spread the drained sauerkraut over the meat. Make sure it covers the entire surface.
  • Layer the cheese: Sprinkle shredded Swiss cheese over the kraut. Use plenty of cheese for a gooey finish.
  • Mix the sauce: Whisk the dressing and milk in a bowl. Pour this mixture over the whole casserole.
  • Bake the dish: Cover the pan with foil. Bake for thirty minutes until it is hot.
  • Crisp the top: Remove the foil for the last ten minutes. Let the cheese bubble and turn brown.

Notes

➔ Drain the sauerkraut very well to avoid sogginess.
➔ Use high-quality Swiss cheese for the best melt.
➔ Cube the bread evenly for a consistent texture.
➔ Let the casserole rest before slicing into portions.
➔ Add extra caraway seeds for a stronger deli taste.
➔ Use thick-cut corned beef for a better mouthfeel.
➔ Spray the foil with oil so cheese won't stick.
➔ Swap Thousand Island for Russian dressing if preferred.
