What is a Reuben?
A Reuben is a classic American deli sandwich that features corned beef, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and Russian or Thousand Island dressing on rye bread.

This slow cooker Reuben casserole calls for cooked corned beef. This can be leftover corned beef that is shredded or diced, or you can also use canned corned beef.

For me, 8 ounces of dressing is enough. You may want more. Add more to the casserole or serve extra dressing on the side. You can use thousand island or Russian dressing with this recipe.

Absolutely. I like to add between 6 slices of Swiss cheese. If you want this casserole to be cheesier, feel free to add as much cheese as you want. Of course you can also use less cheese.

I saw this recipe on Facebook. I used canned corned beef since I don’t have any leftover and corned beef is expensive. Good recipe.
I am so happy to find a recipe to use leftover corned beef that isn’t the usual hash or soup. I LOVED this. I didn’t toast the bread so mine was a little soggy. Next time I will toast it. I added leftover grilled onions on top of the corned beef before the sauerkraut. I recommend you try it! I stocked up on corned beef since it’s now on sale. I plan on making this again, soon. My husband already requested it again.
