Reuben Egg Casserole

2 cups rye or pumpernickel bread, cubed

1 1/2 cups corned beef or pastrami, chopped

1 cup corned beef hash

1 cup sauerkraut

3/4 cup Thousand Island dressing

12 eggs

2 cups milk

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

2 cups Swiss cheese, shredded

Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees.

Spray a 9x13 casserole dish with a non-stick spray.

Whisk eggs, milk, salt and pepper together and set aside.

Layer the casserole in this order -

Bread

Meat

Hash

Sauerkraut

Dressing

Egg Mixture

Cheese

Bake at 375 degrees for 45-55 minutes or until done.

Note:

When adding the egg/milk mixture, add slowly and make sure it gets all of the way down and incorporates into the bread and the other ingredients. This casserole can be made up the night before (without the cheese), cover and refrigerate. The next morning, uncover and add the cheese. Then bake as usual.

Thousand Island

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1/3 cup ketchup

1 tablespoon mustard

2 tablespoons dill relish

1 tablespoon prepared horseradish (optional)

1/4 teaspoon celery salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

Mix all ingredients together and refrigerate.

Here's a great TIP - when you are almost to the bottom of your mayonnaise jar, add the other ingredients to the jar. Put the top back on and shake to incorporate the dressing. Refrigerate. This is a great "bottom of the jar" tip and you don't need an extra container for the dressing.
