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!

Health Benefits of Sauerkraut — One of the not so secret benefits of sauerkraut is the boost it gives to immune systems. Packed with vitamins and minerals, sauerkraut has been used as a lay immune booster for centuries. Sauerkraut contains phytochemicals which are created during the fermentation process. These naturally occurring, beneficial by-products of sauerkraut help boost the immune system which leads to a decrease in a number of health problems. The common cold, skin problems, weight gain and tainted blood are all fixed by a healthy functioning immune system. Source: Sauerkraut.com

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!

  Oops! Typo in my part. Just stir it into the soup mixture 🙂 I have made it with and without the dressing.

  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

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.

Hi, just wondering when to add the 1000 Island dressing? before or after baking?

  Looks like I had a typo there! Sorry! Just mix it in when you stir in the milk. 🙂 I updated the recipe card, thank you for catching that for me.

  Ida – I’m sorry, but I know nothing about weight watcher points and this isn’t a weight watcher website. I am sure they have a way to calculate them?
