I’ve been wanting to make a Reuben sandwich for a few days now. I had this loaf of round deli rye that I’d bought for New Year’s in my refrigerator.  After thinking for a few minutes it came to me to make it as an appetizer instead. With Super Bowl right around the corner it is the perfect time to make this. You can put it together in about 10 minutes and it bakes in 30 minutes.

Start off by cutting into the loaf to make squares to tuck all of the sauerkraut, corned beef and swiss cheese in.  You want the squares to be about an inch across. If you cut too far down on the sides stick a toothpick in to hold the pieces up. (remove before serving)

Gently separate the pieces of bread and tuck the sauerkraut in. At the deli I ordered 2 slices of corned beef cut on 5 or about 1/4 inch thick. Dice the corned beef up and scatter over the sauerkraut. Top with shredded Swiss cheese.

Bake for about 30 minutes until the cheese is melted and just starting to brown. Serve with 1000 Island Dressing on the side to  dip the pieces in.
