As the creator of this recipe, Brandie says, “This casserole is like a giant, warm Reuben sandwich you can eat with a fork.” Exactly Brandie, exactly!
This reuben sandwich-in-a-casserole is so incredibly easy to make. Have you ever made lasagna? Well, it’s even easier than that, since you don’t have to pre-cook anything. Just assemble your ingredients and start packing layer-upon-layer into your baking dish.
Talk about versatile! This dish can be a family dinner or lunch, brunch with your friends, or pot-luck fare. It would be especially fun to use to introduce unsuspecting friends and family to the joys of eating a Reuben Sandwich, but with no fuss, no mess and no expensive trip to the deli.

Quick Tip: After each layer of pastrami, press it down, compact gently, all over your casserole dish with your hands so that it doesn’t expand and overflow.
I have a question. Is the Macaroni cooked before you add the rest of the ingredients and back it in the oven. The directions do not say “Cooked Macaroni Noodles”.
Pasta does cook in sauce.
Do you serve with a pasta? Could pasta be added in the casserole?
For the chicken parmesan casserole.
I cannot find the recipe for the casserole that has the macaroni noodles, ground beef, and some sort of cream sauce. It looks so delicious, and I would love the recipe. It’s pictured several times, but no recipe.
