Ingredients
Instructions
- Heat oven to 450°F (232°C).
- Mix baking mix, milk, and vegetable oil until soft dough forms.
- Press the dough into an ungreased 9 x 13-inch pan.
- Top with sauerkraut and coarsely chopped sliced smoked corned beef.
- Mix mayonnaise, pickle relish, and catsup; spread over the corned beef layer.
- Sprinkle shredded Swiss cheese evenly over the top.
- Bake until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden brown, about 12 to 15 minutes.
- Cut into 2-inch squares and serve.
Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, consider adding diced pickles or jalapeños to the mayonnaise mixture for an extra kick. If you're out of Swiss cheese, Gruyère or mozzarella can be good substitutes. Ensure the sauerkraut is well drained to prevent sogginess. This dish is perfect for using up leftover corned beef from sandwiches or exploring other beef recipes.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these Reuben Appetizer Squares with a tangy dipping sauce or a side of potato chips for a crunchy contrast. They pair wonderfully with a light salad or coleslaw. For a heartier meal, consider serving alongside a bowl of Quick Beef And Vegetable Stew.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place squares on a baking sheet and warm in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until heated through and cheese is melty again.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these squares ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the squares up to the baking step and refrigerate them for a few hours before baking. Just be sure to add a few extra minutes to the baking time if they are cold from the fridge.
What can I use instead of mayonnaise?
If you prefer a lighter option, Greek yogurt or sour cream can be used as a substitute for mayonnaise. This will give a tangy flavor while keeping the dish creamy.
Are these squares suitable for freezing?
Yes, you can freeze the cooked squares. Cool them completely, then store in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months. Reheat directly from the freezer, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
