I created this when I wanted something different for a graduation brunch for two of our sons. When I realized I had most of the ingredients on hand for the Reuben dip I usually make, I decided to use them in a brunch casserole instead! Everyone asked for the recipe. —Janelle Reed, Merriam, Kansas

Delicious recipe! Except for adding a little extra pastrami, I made as is. No changes necessary!

Very good recipe for a light lunch or dinner - think it is too much for a breakfast/brunch meal. Easy to make and tastes great.
