EXCELLENT!!! I LOVED this recipe and so did my family! I will most definitely be making this again. (I layered bread, meat, kraut, dressing, cheese and used Kraft 1000 Island.)

This recipe is wonderful - - - - and oh so easy!! I used a sweet bavarian sauerkraut (in a jar), and about 12 oz. of sliced baby swiss cheese, as I couldn't find shredded in my grocery store. It was so good!!!!! I was hesitant to make this at first, but I am so glad that I did it!

Thank you Monica! My husband and I thought this was very good. I forgot to check the reviews before I made it, but I used Thousand Island dressing anyway! And I must have drained the saurkraut enough because it definitely was not soggy. All in all, I must say, it was quite tasty! I think the heat has a way of blending of the tastes together. You gave life to an old sandwich! I will definitely make this again, my husband (who is the primary cooker of the family) REALLY enjoyed this. My daughter, who will be 5, didn't have as much enthusiasm, though. She picked on the corned beef before I made the casserole. After reading the reviews, I'm thinking this is not a "kiddie" kind of meal, maybe if I use hotdogs...hmmmm.

One of my husband’s favorites… he requests it all the time! My only adjustment is to use Thousand Island dressing versus the Russian. Thanks, Monica, for a great recipe!

Keeper! In response to another review, I had my boyfriend rinse the sour kraut before I got home so it would have time to dry. However, he may have rinsed it out too much because we missed the sour in the kraut which ended up making the corned beef quite dominating. Reviews indicated that alot of people chose 1000 Island over Russian, so I split an inmaginary line down the middle of my pan in order see for ourselves. We both agreed that the best part was the part that had both dressings on it. I toasted the bread first w/PAM in the preheating oven to prevent sogginess, but when I layered the casserole, I didn't quite cover a bit of the bread around the edges which left me with a couple of bites that were hard as a rock!

This is a keeper! All you need to do to prevent this dish from becoming soggy is to thoroughly rinse and DRAIN the sauerkraut. I use a wire mesh colander and place it over a bowl for the kraut to drain while I fix the remaining ingredients. I also layer in this order: bread, meat, kraut, dressing, cheese. It's perfect! (I also like to use unsliced rye bread when I can find it.)

This recipe was ok. I followed the advice of other reviewers and layered the toasted rye bread on top (just under the cheese). It was flavorful, but quite dry. I served extra thousand island dressing on the side. I had 3 adults and 5 children for dinner. The adults thought it was ok, but none of the kids (5 to 1 year old) would really touch anything but the corned beef. I will probably try it again although I would only put sauerkraut in half the dish (for adults) and add more corned beef.

This recipe was ok, but not great. The pasta made it dry, even though I added the juice from the saurkraut as extra. I may try it again with some changes, because my hubby sort of liked it. I think it has potential with a few changes, mostly the moisture.

OK, but we would rather have an actual Reuben sandwich, as long it we have all the ingredients anyway. Also prefer Thousand Island to Russian dressing for Reuben stuff.

I followed other rater's advice of putting the bread cubes on the top, then adding the cheese at the end as directed in the recipe. My dh loved it, my kids weren't as thrilled. I liked it and reuben is not one of my favorites. Will make it again.

My husband went crazy over this. He loves Reuben sandwiches, so this was a real treat for him to come home to.I couldn't find a russian style salad dressing so I used a honey mustard dressing and it worked well.

Even my dh who hates saurkraut liked this dish. I toasted my bread beforehand as suggested by previous raters and it wasn't mushy at all. I finished off the leftovers the next day and they were just as good as the day before.

We LOVE reubens but I must have done something wrong with this recipe. Maybe my bread wasn't really good NY rye...it's hard to get here in Tennesse! I wouldn't toast it again if I made this again. I think I also overdid the 1000 island dressing and it was too much. My husband ate it and said it was ok, even took it to work the next day, but it isn't my favorite recipe this time around. Sorry. We are trying the chicken reuben tonight...I'll have to rate that one after we try it!

I did a family taste test & layed half according to the recipe, although I used thousand island dressing & didn't spray the aluminum foil with Pam. The other half, I made with reviewer suggestions by spraying the pan with Pam 1st & then layering it with corned beef, sauerkraut, thousand island dressing, Swiss cheese & lightly toasted rye bread cubes on top (still with the aluminum foil on top). They were both good but the preference was for the one with the bread cubes on top. As my family doesn't like corned beef as much as I do, I'm going to try it as a turkey reuben casserole next. I think this would be a good recipe for leftover Thanksgiving turkey too.
