Reuben Casserole Recipe

Serves 6-8

Ingredients:

• 6 slices rye bread, divided
• 1 pound pastrami or corned beef, thinly sliced or shaved

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350º F and lightly grease a 9×11-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
2. Take four pieces of rye bread and cut them into cubes. Place the remaining bread in a food processor and pulse until you have fine breadcrumbs. Set aside.

4. Cover with the remaining beef, caraway seeds, and cheese.
5. In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, Thousand Island dressing, and mustard. Then, beat in the eggs until well combined.
6. Pour the wet ingredients evenly over the casserole, then top with the breadcrumbs.
7. Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the mixture is bubbly, the top is browned, and the center is set.
