Classic Ham and Swiss Casserole

This my take on the classic 'reuben casserole,' which I love. Try it and add your own variation, depending on your tastes. Different meats, cheeses, breads, or dressings would make for a variety of tastes.

Ingredients

• 2 cups shredded Swiss cheese, divided
• 1 (1 pound) loaf sourdough bread, cut into cubes
• 1 (8 ounce) bottle honey mustard
• 2 cups diced ham, divided
• 1 (6 ounce) jar dill pickle relish, drained

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 2-quart baking dish.

Step 2

Spread the bread cubes into a shallow pan and let the bread sit until the cut surfaces are somewhat dried with the insides remaining soft, 2 to 3 hours.

Step 3

Put bread cubes into a large bowl. Pour honey mustard over the bread and mix to coat. Layer about half the bread cubes into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle 2/3 cup Swiss cheese over the bread cubes; top with 1 cup ham. Spread relish in a layer over everything. Layer remaining ham, 2/3 cup Swiss cheese, and remaining bread cubes, respectively, atop the relish layer. Finish by topping with the remaining Swiss cheese. Cover entire dish with aluminum foil.

Step 4

Bake in preheated oven until hot in the center, about 30 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes before cutting to serve.
