This reuben noodle casserole combines corned beef, cabbage, and zesty sauerkraut in an easy homemade Swiss cheese sauce.

- Flavor: This corned beef casserole has all the flavors in our favorite Reuben sandwich.
- Technique: The homemade sauce starts with a roux, which is fat and flour. It is easy to make from scratch.
- Recommended tools:
- Budget tip: You can use leftover corned beef in this recipe or corned beef from the deli.
- Swaps: If you don’t have corned beef, leftover ham is great in this recipe too.

Ingredient Tips For Corned Beef Casserole
- Corned Beef – If you have leftover corned beef, it’s perfect for this recipe. If you don’t, ask the deli counter to slice corned beef extra thick.
- Cheese Sauce – The cheese sauce resembles mac and cheese with the flavors of a Reuben. Swiss cheese sauce, a bit of Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce add flavor.
- Pasta & Cabbage – The base of this casserole is pasta and cabbage. If you have leftover cabbage from corned beef, use that in place of fresh cabbage.
Variation
Use leftover potatoes from your corned beef dinner (you’ll need 3 cups). Add the potatoes to the casserole dish and layer the cooked cabbage, sauerkraut, and the onion/corned beef mixture on top. Pour the Swiss cheese sauce over top, sprinkle with breadcrumbs, and bake until hot and bubbly!


TOPPING TIP: If you’d like to incorporate the flavor of rye bread, place a piece or two in a blender or food processor. Pulse a few times until it forms crumbs, and use them in place of the panko. Garnish with chopped dill pickles after baking!
Leftovers
Store leftover corned noodle casserole in the fridge for up to 4 days & reheats in the oven, on stovetop, or microwave. Add a splash of milk while reheating if you’d like it to be creamier.
