Reuben Casserole

This is great to serve after your St. Patty's Day feast when there are leftovers. Alternately, you can get thin slices of corned beef from the deli. I prefer to toast the rye bread and serve open face style. I suppose you don't have to toast the bread, but I like it that way. Enjoy!
