Return to oven and broil until the crumbs are golden brown, about 2 more minutes. Watch carefully to prevent burning. (5 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider using smoked Swiss cheese.
If you don't have rye bread, you can substitute with another hearty bread like sourdough or pumpernickel.
Adjust the amount of sauerkraut and corned beef to your liking.
The reserved sauerkraut juice adds a tangy depth to the sauce, but be careful not to add too much, as it can make the casserole watery.
Feel free to add a pinch of caraway seeds to the rye crumb topping for a more authentic Reuben flavor.
Make sure to watch carefully while broiling to prevent the topping from burning.

    I was a bit skeptical at first, but this recipe exceeded my expectations. It's a delicious and creative way to use leftover corned beef.

  • Marty Koss

    This was a hit! My family loved the combination of flavors, and the rye crumb topping added a nice crunch.

  • Flavio Roob

    The sauce was a little too thick for my liking, so I added a bit more milk to thin it out. Overall, a great recipe!

  • Shawn Rippinfisher

    This is now a staple in our house. So easy to make and everyone enjoys it!

  • Giovanna Gleichner

    I didn't have any rye bread on hand, so I used sourdough instead. It still turned out great!
