Create the ultimate comforting main dish with this Easy Homemade Reuben Bake Casserole. This recipe layers savory corned beef, tangy sauerkraut, melted Swiss cheese, and creamy dressing over slices of rye bread. It delivers all the classic Reuben sandwich flavor in a simple, shareable bake format.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound cooked corned beef, shredded or chopped
  • 1 (16 ounce) can sauerkraut, drained well
  • 1 cup Thousand Island dressing
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon caraway seeds (optional)
  • 8 slices rye bread, cut into 1 inch cubes
  • 8 ounces Swiss cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the shredded corned beef, drained sauerkraut, Thousand Island dressing, Dijon mustard, and caraway seeds. Mix gently until everything is evenly coated.
  3. Spread half of the rye bread cubes evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  4. Spoon half of the corned beef mixture over the bread layer. Sprinkle with half of the shredded Swiss cheese.
  5. Repeat the layers: remaining rye bread cubes, remaining corned beef mixture, and the rest of the Swiss cheese.
  6. Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the top layer of cheese and bread.
  7. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbly throughout.
  8. Let the bake rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Make sure to drain the sauerkraut very well to prevent the bake from becoming watery.
  • You can use pumpernickel bread instead of rye for a slightly different flavor profile.
  • For an extra rich top crust, you can mix 1/4 cup of melted butter with a dash of garlic powder before drizzling.
  • Use high-quality deli corned beef for the best flavor.
