"This is my first time posting a recipe! I didn't make this up, but it's origins are lost in the mists of time. My family loves this. Add a salad and (if you're not doing the low-carb thing) some good bread. When I had a convection oven I cooked it at 325°F."

Delicious! My family loved this. I used ground turkey for the meat and used homemade carmelized onions instead of the french-fried to make it healthier. We served this with rye bread. Very good. Even my kids who would never eat sauerkraut loved it.

This is a wonderful Reuben Pie recipe. We loved the meat crust. I served it with Thousand Island dressing and it really hit the spot. Thanks for a quick and easy way for a Reuben, Debbie1951. It was great!
