Ingredients:

  • 1/2 pound of chopped of pastrami (or corned beef)
  • 1 to 2 cups of shredded or cubed swiss cheese
  •  1/2 to 1 cup of sauerkraut (drained well)
  • 1/4 to 1/2 cup of Russian or Thousand Island Dressing
  • 1/4 to 1/2 cup of sour cream
  • Rye breadcrumbs (enough to generously cover the top of your baking dish)

Instructions:

  1. Mix the Base: In a large bowl, combine the Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, pastrami, Russian dressing, and sour cream. Use a rubber spatula to mix until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
  2. Transfer to Dish: Spread the mixture evenly into an oven-safe baking dish.
  3. Add Topping: Generously top the mixture with the rye breadcrumbs.
  4. Bake: Cover the dish with foil and bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes to crisp up the topping.
  5. Serve: Let it cool slightly and serve as a warm dip with crackers or chips.
