Today, we’re taking a classic sandwich and turning it into a show-stopping casserole: the Reuben Casserole! We’re talking layers of tender corned beef, tangy sauerkraut, melty Swiss cheese, all bound together with creamy Thousand Island dressing, and nestled in a bed of rye bread. It’s a flavor explosion in every bite, perfect for a weeknight dinner or feeding a crowd. So, if you’re looking for a fun twist on the Reuben sandwich, or just want a delicious and comforting dish, then you’ve come to the right place. Let’s get cooking!

First let’s make our thousand island dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, grated onion, pickle relish, and paprika.

Spray a 9×13-inch casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray. Layer the casserole dish with rye bread cubes.  Then layer corned beef, thousand island dressing, sauerkraut, and shredded Swiss Cheese and repeat for a second layer.

Bake at 350 degrees, covered for 20 minutes.  I use toothpicks to keep my cheese from sticking to my foil.

Then remove the foil and cook an additional 10 minutes until cheese is browned.  Allow it to cool for a couple of minutes covered before cutting. Serve with a dill pickle. Enjoy!
