I’m not sure why, but my mom used potato pancakes instead of rye bread.
I’m not a fan of rye bread, so that has always been okay with me.
Anyway, this casserole is a lot easier to make than regular Reuben sandwiches, and it tastes just as good.
Maybe even better.

| Reuben Sandwich Casserole |
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup Thousand Island salad dressing
- 2 pounds sauerkraut, rinsed and patted dry
- 1 pound shredded corned beef (We use a can of corned beef. It sounds silly, but both Joe and I prefer the flavor of the canned to the flavor of fresh.)
- 1 pound egg noodles, prepared according to package directions*
- 16 ounces shredded Swiss cheese
- 16 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese (or an additional 16 ounces of Swiss)
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Combine mayonnaise and Thousand Island in a small bowl, set aside.
- Stir together sauerkraut, corned beef, noodles, and Swiss cheese. Add dressing mixture, mix well.
- Add mixture into a 9×13 baking dish, smooth the top. Sprinkle shredded cheese over top.
- Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until cheese is melted and mixture is heated through.
*You could substitute a loaf of cubed rye or pumpernickel bread for the noodles. That would make the casserole more authentic. I’ve also considered using mashed potatoes instead, and making them into a layer on the bottom of the pan. I think that would make the whole thing very different, but I haven’t had the courage to deviate from this version (that I like so much).

Wow, this is definitely different. I never had the sandwich version often. Probably would love it on the potato pancakes too!

I’ve made it with mashed potatoes before and we loved it. I had actually forgotten about this dish, until I seen yours! I’ll have to try it with egg noodles, or with cubed rye bread. We love ruebens!
*I’ve never heard of canned corned beef before. Is that like by the tuna, and spam?
