5 oz. deli sliced corn beef

1 Tbsp. - 2-1/2 teaspoons Margarine, melted

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350. Place margarine in a 2-qt glass casserole dish.

2. Place torn rye bread into a blender and pulse several times to make crumbs; combine rye crumbs with panko crumbs in a bowl and set aside.

3. Bring a large dutch oven pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook egg noodles in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 5 minutes. Drain noodles and set aside.

4. Melt 2 Tbsp. Margarine in a large saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir onion until lightly browned, about for 15 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper; stir in spicy mustard. Remove from heat, stir in flour until smooth, and gradually whisk in milk. Sauce will thicken. Whisk 1 3/4 c. Swiss cheese into the sauce, stirring until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth. Stir sauerkraut with about 1 tablespoon of reserved juice and corned beef, turkey into the cheese sauce.

5. Transfer cooked noodles to the prepared casserole dish and pour in the sauce; stir to combine. Sprinkle remaining Swiss cheese in an even layer over the top.

6. Bake in the preheated oven until bubbling, about for 20 minutes. Remove casserole from oven and set the oven to broil.

7. Stir 3 tablespoons melted margarine into the reserved rye and panko crumbs until thoroughly combined and sprinkle top of casserole with rye crumb mixture. Return to oven and broil until the crumbs are golden brown, about for 2 more minutes. Keep a close eye on it to prevent dish from burning.
