Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups diced cooked corned beef
  • 1 cup sauerkraut, well drained and squeezed dry
  • 1½ cups shredded Swiss cheese, divided
  • 1 cup rye bread cubes (slightly stale or day-old)
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
  • ⅓ cup Thousand Island dressing, divided
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
  • ½ medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish.
  2. In a bowl, toss rye bread cubes with melted butter and half the caraway seeds, then spread in the bottom of the prepared dish.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix softened cream cheese, eggs, mustard, and 3 tablespoons of Thousand Island dressing until smooth.
  4. Optional: In a small skillet, sauté diced onion until translucent (about 3-4 minutes), then add garlic and cook 30 seconds more.
  5. In a large bowl, combine corned beef, drained sauerkraut, sautéed onion mixture, remaining caraway seeds, black pepper, and 1 cup of the Swiss cheese.
  6. Fold in the cream cheese mixture until everything is well incorporated.
  7. Spread the corned beef mixture evenly over the bread cube layer in the casserole dish.
  8. Top with remaining ½ cup Swiss cheese and drizzle with remaining Thousand Island dressing.
  9. Bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes until bubbly and golden brown around the edges.
  10. Let rest for 5-10 minutes before garnishing with chopped parsley and serving.

Notes

  • Make sure to drain the sauerkraut extremely well to prevent a soggy casserole.
  • This can be assembled up to 24 hours in advance and refrigerated before baking.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
  • Nutrition facts are estimates and may vary based on ingredients used, portion sizes, and preparation methods.
