10–12 slices rye or pumpernickel bread, cubed (about 4–5 cups)

1/2 cup butter, melted

1 pound of sauerkraut, drained

1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped (and a little more for topping)

2 teaspoons caraway seeds

3 cups Swiss cheese, shredded

1 pound corned beef, cut into small bite-sized pieces (I buy mine at the deli – you can also use pastrami if you can’t find corned beef)

2 teaspoons horseradish

2 teaspoons Worcestershire

1/2 teaspoon paprika

1 small shallot, grated or minced

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Toss bread cubes with melted butter in a bowl.

Whisk ingredients for the reuben sauce; taste and adjust.

In a separate bowl, combine the sauerkraut, parsley, and caraway seeds.

Layer half of the bread/butter mixture on the bottom of a 9×13 baking dish. Bake for 10 minutes and remove from the oven.

Layer the remaining ingredients on top of the baked bread cubes. This is the order I usually follow: sauerkraut, cheese, sauce, corned beef, sauerkraut, cheese, sauce. Finish with a little more cheese and the remainder of bread cubes. Bake for 35 minutes.

Drizzle with sauce, sprinkle with parsley, and serve!
