I'm only giving this 4 stars because I think it needs a little spicing up. but with some additions it is 5 star and certailnly easy. I added 1 tsp Trappey's hot sauce to the sauerkraut layer because I also added a diced leftover baked potato in with the sauerkraut (for a one-dish meal) and decided it would need something more. It could have also used some garlic powder and pepper, I think . My cheese was finely shredded and trying to layer the mayo/dressing was tricky and the cheese got mixed in, so I think it would probably be easier to mix the cheese and mayo and then spread it together. I used rye bread crumbs, but just sprinkled them on and then drizzled the melted butter over them. I wan't sure I'd like the tomatoes on the top, but in the end I think they were very good, and did add some nice color. I did only a half recipe with some extra corned beef, plus the potato, and it needed the full 45 minutes in the convection oven. I served it with a orange-grape-avocado salad and some leftover coleslaw. I will definately make this again with a few spice additions to suit our tastes, but that is an easy fix. Adding to my review: I had about a cup and a half leftover, so I spread them in the bottom of 2 small ramekins, then later heated them in the microwave and topped each with a fried egg, (With a slice of rye toast it made a tasy easy breakfast! Since I'd added the potato it was like a corned beef hash breakfast). The flavors had melded nicely upon sitting so this casserole may be even better made ahead and re-heated. -
I made this casserole tonight and it was fabulous! how could something so easy be so good, this was a very tasty dinner. Thank you!
