As any Minnesotan will tell you the word 'casserole' is not part of our vocabulary; instead we call it a 'hotdish'. There are millions of hotdish recipes floating around Minnesota kitchens. This is one I like to take credit to introducing to my home state. I made it for different family members various times when they came to visit us in Massachusetts and it got rave reviews. It's a great treat for Reuben lovers!
8 oz. wide noodles, cooked
1 lb. sauerkraut, drained
2 cups chopped corned beef
2 medium tomatoes, peeled & chopped
1/2 cup Thousand Island dressing
10 oz. Swiss cheese, shredded
4 crisp rye crackers, crushed
1/2 tsp. caraway seed
In a greased 9x13" pan, layer buttered noodles, sauerkraut, corned beef & tomatoes. Dot with Thousand Island dressing, and sprinkle with cheese. Top with cracker crumbs and caraway seed. Bake for 1 hour @ 350°, or until bubbly.
Top with Thousand Island dressing if desired.
Serves 6-8 people.

HoStEsS GiFt IdEa.... Fill a clean, empty spaghetti jar with whole cranberries & water. Add a bouquet of fresh-cut flowers, and finish off with rafia & a thank you note. Voilà! [And the best part is, not only do the cranberries add color, they also extend the life of the flowers!]
