Ingredients

  • 1 2-pound loaf of rye or pumpernickel bread
  • 2 cups thinly sliced corned beef, chopped
  • 1 cup sauerkraut, drained and patted dry
  • 1 1/2 cups Thousand Island dressing
  • 1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded Gruyere cheese
  • 1 teaspoon caraway seeds

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 400 F. Place 2 pieces of aluminum foil, crossing one over the other, on a flat surface.
  2. Cut the bread in a grid pattern, spacing about 1-inch apart. Do not cut through the bottom crust.
  3. Combine the corned beef, sauerkraut, caraway seeds, dressing and cheeses together in a bowl. Mix well.
  4. Place the loaf on the foil then spoon the corned beef and cheese mixture into the cut areas of the bread. Be sure to open up the bread so the mixture gets down inside. Wrap the foil around the bread and place on a baking sheet.
  5. Bake for 30 minutes, then pull back the foil and bake an additional 5-10 minutes or until the bread is a golden brown and the cheese has melted.
  6. Serve by pulling out the individual bread pieces using your fingers or a fork.
