Angie’s Baked Reuben Casserole


 This is tonight's dinner. Hope it tastes as good as it sounds. This was from a $5 a meal email group. I know it cost more than $5. I used pastrami (on sale @ 7.99/lb),  sour Cream (@ 1.19 for 2 cups), Swiss cheese (about $2.50), Thousand Island (on hand), sauerkraut ($1.29)  and rye bread (on sale for$1.50). It looks real good and really is a cheap meal so I'm not complaining. Also realized that you can shred cheese w/ a potato peeler!

We love reubens. I’m always looking for a way to make them easier so I don’t have to stand at the stove flipping for hours. By george, I think I’ve found it! With this recipe, you can just throw everything into a casserole dish and then scoop out sandwich portion onto bread!

Baked Reuben Casserole

Yield - 7 servings
Preparation Time – 10 minutes
Cooking Time – 40 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds deli corned beef, crumbled
  • 1 2 can sauerkraut (28 ounces), rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup Thousand Island dressing (almost free with coupons and sales)
  • 2 cups Swiss cheese, shredded (it’s cheaper to shred your own, but there is pre-cut out there, if you just don’t have the time)
  • Rye bread (I found mine on the “must go today” racks at Wal-mart for 40% off.)

Directions

  • Place corned beef in the bottom of a 9×13 casserole dish.
  • Layer sauerkraut on top of the corned beef.
  • In a separate bowl, combine sour cream and Thousand Island dressing. Then layer the dressing on top of the sauerkraut.
  • Layer the shredded Swiss cheese on top of the dressing.
  • Bake 40 minutes at 350 degrees
  • Scoop onto your bread, however much or little you want.
