Rueben Casserole

I am sure for those of you that use Facebook have come across a cooking video, where they quickly show you how to make something. I do not mind seeing those videos, but what really drives me nuts is when there is no link or written information for a recipe.

This recipe came from one of those videos, I saw it several times in one day and knew I needed to find the recipe and make it. A rueben is one of my favorite sandwiches after all. After some searching I found the recipe and immediately pinned it.

This casserole did not disappoint. It had all the ingredients of a classic rueben plus it had dill pickles which I thought was an excellent decision. But then again I love dill pickles.

• 8 slices rye or marbled or pumpernickel bread

• 1 1/4 cups milk

2. Take 6 slices of bread and cut them into cubes and spread them out in the prepared baking dish.
3. Take the remaining 2 slices bread and place them in a food processor. Plus until the bread is in fine crumbs and set aside.
4. Top the cubed bread with 1/2 of the shredded corned beef. Spread the sauerkraut over the corned beef. Spread the pickles over the sauerkraut and top with 2 cups Swiss cheese. Place the remaining shredded corned beef on top of the cheese, followed by the remaining 2 cups of Swiss cheese.
