Colorados Finest Reuben Casserole Food

COLORADO'S FINEST REUBEN CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees f. Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
• Add butter to the hot drained noodles and stir so the melting butter coats the noodles. Set aside to cool. Put the rye crackers in a plastic bag and roll with a rolling pin or bottle to make crumbs.
• In the prepared baking pan, assemble the casserole by layering in this order: the buttered noodles, the drained sauerkraut, the chopped corned beef, and then the tomatoes.
• Finish the casserole by dotting the top with the Thousand Island dressing. Sprinkle with shredded cheese, cracker crumbs, and caraway seed.
• Cover the casserole with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Uncover and bake about 15 minutes longer or until bubbly.
• Note: I prefer to use rye bread crumbs instead of the cracker crumbs. I whirr the bread in the blender or processor and then mix the crumbs with an additional tablespoon of melted butter and the caraway seeds.
