Reuben Casserole


If you like Reuben sandwiches, I bet you'll love this casserole. We sure did!

2 cups nonfat or reduced calorie Thousand Island Dressing
1/2 cup nonfat sour cream
12 slices rye bread, sliced into 1-inch strips
3 cups (1 pound) pastrami, sliced in 1/2 inch strips
3 cups sauerkraut, drained
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded swiss cheese
nonstick cooking spray

In a bowl, combine the dressing and sour cream until well blended. Set aside.
Layer one third of the bread strips on the bottom of the sprayed 9x13 baking dish.
Layer one third of the pastrami over the bread, then one third of the sauerkraut over the pastrami, then one third of the sour cream mixture, followed by one third of the shredded swiss cheese. Repeat the layers two more times, ending with a layer of cheese.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cover dish with aluminum foil and bake for 1 hour. Remove the foil and bake for 30 more minutes.

The recipe says it serves 6 but this makes a HUGE casserole which I think serves far more than that so be prepared for leftovers.
