Notes

  • Making and shredding a whole corned beef makes for the best reuben casserole. But thinly sliced deli corned beef can stand in as a suitable substitute.
  • Homemade dressings are much more flavorful and take only a few ingredients to make. Whipping up a delicious 1000 island dressing takes less than a minute with pantry ingredients. A store bought dressing of this creamy dressing is an acceptable alternative.
  • Make sure to shred the Swiss cheese either by hand or with a food processor. It will be much fresher tasting than the pre-shredded variety.
  • Any leftovers reheat beautifully in the microwave. Use 60% power for 1 to 2 minutes until the reuben casserole is hot and the cheese is melty.
