Reubens in a Dish

I love Rubens and was looking for a dish to prepare "family style" instead of just serving sandwiches. After getting some ideas this is what I came up with and I must say I did good!

• Ready In: 30 mins
• Serves: 6

Ingredients

• 6  slices  rye bread, toasted
• 1  lb swiss cheese, grated
• 1⁄2 cup onion, thinly sliced
• 1 (15 ounce) can sauerkraut, drained
• 1  lb corned beef, sliced
• 3⁄4 cup  thousand island dressing
• 1⁄4 cup mayonnaise
• 1  tablespoon butter

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Spray 2 quart casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray.
3. Toast the rye bread and lightly butter 1 side only. Arrange 3 slices (butter side UP) in bottom of casserole dish (cut to fit if you so desire).
4. Sprinkle 1/3 cup of grated Swiss cheese over buttered toast.
5. Arrange drained sauerkraut over the cheese and bread.
6. Mix salad dressing with the mayonnaise in separate bowl and spoon 1/2 of the mixture over the sauerkraut.
7. Chop the corned beef into bite size piece and spread evenly in the dish.
8. Top with very thinly sliced onion and then 1/3 cup grated Swiss cheese and remaining corned beef.
9. Finish the dish with remaining Swiss cheese and remaining dressing mixture.
10. Bake 15-20 minutes or until bubbly. Place remaining 3 slices of toasted Rye bread (buttered side down) over top and continue baking for 5-10 minutes.
11. Let sit for 5 minutes. Cut and serve hot.
