If you’ve visited my cooking blog in the past you may remember that we were known as Two Moms in a Blog and then Chrysanthemoms as the group expanded. Starting July 1st we became Moms In A Blog http://momsinablog.com. My topic is Recipes and Tips. Please visit the blogs of the other great writers at Moms In A Blog.

I’ve found many types of “Reuben” recipes including variations of the Reuben Sandwich, some using sauerkraut and some using coleslaw. Some sandwich recipes use corned beef and swiss cheese and some use ham, turkey, and swiss cheese. All use light or dark rye bread. I even found a recipe for Baked Reuben Casserole.

If you like sauerkraut and corned beef you’ll enjoy this appetizer or snack recipe.

Reuben Snackers

8 oz cream cheese
1 cup sour cream
2 cups shredded Swiss cheese
2 pkgs corned beef – chopped
16 oz sauerkraut – drained
Cocktail rye bread

Bring cream cheese to room temperature or soften in microwave. Mix cream cheese and sour cream. Then stir in shredded Swiss cheese, chopped corned beef, and drained sauerkraut.

Place in slow cooker on low and heat for 2 – 3 hours so the flavors blend. Stir and serve warm with cocktail rye bread.

Serve this snack from the slow cooker or place in a round hollowed out loaf of rye or sour dough bread.

While the following Reuben Casserole could be made in the slow cooker the bread would not come out toasted as it would if baked in the oven.

Baked Reuben Casserole

16 oz. deli corned beef slices, 1/4 in. thick and cut into pieces
15 oz. can sauerkraut, rinsed to remove some salt & drained
12 slices Swiss cheese
8 slices rye bread, torn or cut into bite sized pieces
1 c. Thousand Island salad dressing
1/4 c, butter or margarine, melted

Place the corned beef in a greased 12 x 8 baking dish. Dot beef with Thousand Island dressing and spread sauerkraut over top. Cover all with sliced mozzarella cheese. Toss rye bread pieces in melted butter or margarine and spread over
cheese.

Bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes.
