Ingredients

  • 6 cups rye bread, cut into 1-inch cubes and divided
  • 1 pound cooked corned beef, diced
  • 1 can (14.5 ounces) sauerkraut, rinsed, thoroughly drained and squeezed dry
  • 3 cups shredded Swiss cheese, divided
  • 1 cup Thousand Island dressing
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon caraway seeds

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Spread 3 cups of the rye bread cubes across the bottom of the prepared baking dish in a uniform layer.
  • Distribute the diced corned beef evenly over the bread cube base.
  • Layer the prepared sauerkraut over the corned beef, ensuring even coverage.
  • Apply 2 cups of shredded Swiss cheese as the next layer.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the Thousand Island dressing and whole milk until homogenized; pour this mixture evenly over the cheese and sauerkraut layers.
  • In a separate bowl, toss the remaining 3 cups of rye bread cubes with the melted butter and caraway seeds until coated.
  • Distribute the buttered bread cubes over the top of the casserole and sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup of Swiss cheese.
  • Place the dish in the center of the oven and bake for 35 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the cheese is golden and bubbling.
  • Remove from the oven and allow the casserole to set for 10 minutes before portioning and serving.
