This casserole is so rich and creamy, it has all of the flavors of a Reuben sandwich, in a baked noodle casserole!
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Frank’s Kraut. The opinions and text are all mine.
So, tomorrow is St. Patrick’s Day. Are you making a traditional Corned Beef and Cabbage Meal? We will be enjoying ours! It’s something we all look forward to every year.
I have learned to make a large amount, especially if I want to have any leftovers for Reuben sandwiches, or to make the corned beef into some yummy “up-cycled” Reuben recipes, like this Cream of Reuben Soup or this casserole!
Left over corned beef baked into a creamy noodle casserole your whole family will enjoy!
Frank’s Kraut is the ONLY sauerkraut I buy. I was raised on this stuff. It’s so delicious and SO GOOD for you, too!
March is National Reuben Month. If you are following along with me, you got a great appetizer recipe for Reuben Pinwheels last week. I love hot appetizers like this one, or this Hot Reuben Dip that I made last year! They are always crowd pleasers, and a great alternative to run-of-the-mill cold dips and chips.
I have had a relationship with Frank’s for almost a year now. I love getting the chance to develop new recipes for them. This Reuben Burger was where it all started!
My favorite way to purchase Frank’s Kraut is in these, super convenient, one pound poly bags. It’s always so fresh, I use what I need and then I store the rest in a mason jar in my fridge.
Leftover corned beef, Frank’s kraut, Swiss cheese, and a few other ingredients tossed with some wide egg noodles.
Then you top them with bread crumbs you make yourself, from a couple pieces of Rye or Pumpernickel bread.
Let’s dig in!

How delicious, this looks really amazing!!
Sandy says
Doesn’t say anything about the thousand island dressing in the directions?
Michaela Kenkel says
Oops! Typo in my part. Just stir it into the soup mixture 🙂 I have made it with and without the dressing.
Sandy says
I figured it got mixed with everything else. Made it last night and my family loved it. So creamy and cheesy, I am sure I would not have noticed if the dressing was missing
Michaela Kenkel says
Happy you all enjoyed it! Thank you for letting me know! 🙂
Stephanie says
The nursing home I work for actually started serving this and I liked it so much I asked for the recipe! Made it for the first time myself tonight and my husband loved it too. It’ll definitely be added to our weeknight dinner rotation.
Michaela Kenkel says
That is so funny! Who knew a nursing home somewhere was serving my recipe!? Thanks for sharing!! I am so happy you like the recipe!
Lindsey says
You list a half can of milk? Evaporated milk? What size can please?
Michaela Kenkel says
It just means half of a soup can of milk. Just regular milk.
