Make your weeknight dinner special with this easy Homemade Reuben Bake Casserole. It brings the classic deli sandwich flavors into one satisfying, cheesy bake with minimal effort.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound sliced corned beef, chopped
  • 1 (16 ounce) can sauerkraut, drained well
  • 1 cup Thousand Island dressing
  • 1 pound Swiss cheese, shredded
  • 1 (14 ounce) package rye bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon caraway seeds (optional)

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 and the well-drained sauerkraut. Mix gently.
  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the Thousand Island dressing and the melted butter. Pour this mixture over the corned beef and sauerkraut and toss until everything is evenly coated.
  4. Add half of the shredded Swiss cheese to the corned beef mixture and stir to combine.
  5. Spread half of the rye bread cubes evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  6. Spoon the corned beef and sauerkraut mixture over the layer of bread cubes. Spread it out evenly.
  7. Top the mixture with the remaining rye bread cubes. Sprinkle the remaining Swiss cheese over the top layer of bread. If using, sprinkle caraway seeds over the cheese.
  8. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and the top is lightly golden brown.
  9. Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before you cut and serve this easy comfort food bake.

Notes

  • Make sure you drain the sauerkraut thoroughly; excess liquid can make your casserole soggy.
  • For an extra rich flavor, you can lightly toast the rye bread cubes before assembling the bake.
  • This cheesy corned beef bake makes excellent leftovers for lunch the next day.
