I made this last night. My husband and I both enjoy reubens so thought it would be a good dish. My husband did not like it at all, the sourkraute was way to overpowering for him. Maybe if I had used only half the amount of the kraute it would have been better. Not sure if I'll ever try this again with a few tweeks.

My husband loved this. I baked the crumbs first like I read in other ratings. It is a keeper. The only problem will be trying to find corn beef when it isn't in season. Thanks for the great and easy recipe.

I had to use pastrami because the store didn't have corned beef. I used more thousand island dressing then called for after reading other reviews,next time I am going to use the amount called for,because it would have been perfect. This is a quick and easy very good meal. I don't have alot of time to cook but its hard to find good fast dishes this is definitional one of them! My husband and I both liked it and I think with the amount of dressing called for we would have loved it! Will make again!

Hubby liked this, but I didn't care much for it, and our 2-year-old just picked at it. Perhaps if I were more a fan of the Reuben sandwich, I would have found this casserole more appealing. But I found it greasy and too tart, and I followed the recipe to a T. Maybe better with a different type of dressing? Probably won't make this again.

My entire family was disappointed. My son summed it up: "We should have just had the sandwiches.

Did not have sliced deli meat. So we used a can of corn beef instead. I turned out yummy. I enjoyed how the rye bread was able to crisp in the bottom. I was sure it would get soggy, but it didn't. I also forgot to cover the casserole in foil while it cooked. It still turned out great.

I'm not very impressed at all with this recipe. I served it at a holiday gathering and although it seemed well recieved, I found it to be too mushy even though I toasted the bread first. Flavor was just OK. I won't be making this one again.

Absolutely fantastic. I substituted Thousand Island dressing. Other than that - followed the recipe exactly. Easy to freeze the leftovers.

My husband loves reuben sandwiches so I thought this would be sure hit. All I got was an "Interesting". I will probably make it again just because its so different.

Yum!! I used 1,000 Island dressing instead of Russian and followed other reviewer's advice on topping the casserole with rye as well as lining the bottom. It's not the prettiest dish in the world, but it tastes GREAT!!!

Followed the recipe almost to a T. It was pretty good although my kids weren't too thrilled with it. My husband really liked it but thought it needed some mustard. I toasted some rye bread cubes and topped the casserole with them so it wouldn't be so soggy. Turn out good. Super simple to make. Not sure I would make it again since the kids wouldn't eat it. I did find it a tiny bit salty. Not sure why. I forgot to rinse the sauerkraut. Not sure if that had anything to do with it.

This recipe is exactly like the one I use to make this casserole at home, and I find it to be one of the quickest meals I can throw together. Instead of putting the cheese on top, I instead butter the tops of the slices of marble rye, and place the cheese under it. The rye crisps up and gives a nice presentation, the cheese melts into the casserole, and I don't have to do anything with it while it bakes - I essentially pop it in for 30 minutes and I'm done.

We prepared this recipe for an Oktoberfest celebration and everyone who tried it loved it. One lady came back to tell the chef that it was the best thing she had ever eaten in her life! My husband tried a sample of it that I took home & told me to ask our chef if he would consider marrying him. It will definitely be back on our menus here at the retirement community where I work....& it will be on our home menus, too! Great recipe!

this recipe was awesome!! My husband and I loved it. The only thing i did different was use thousand island dressing instead of the russian style and i also used way more than what the recipe called for. So if you make this recipe make sure you use more than 3/4 cup.
