This can be a scrumptious one-dish meal, also it's very easy to organize. It's a terrific way to use leftover corned beef, or use canned corned beef within the recipe. I made use of Swiss cheese within the casserole, but a mix of Swiss and cheddar or perhaps a cheddar jack blend works too.
The buttery rye bread crumb topping is the best final touch, and also the casserole can be created each day ahead of time.

Sprinkle the taters gently with kosher pepper and salt, after which top the taters about 1 / 2 of the shredded Swiss cheese spoon the corned beef mixture within the cheese. Sprinkle remaining cheese within the corned beef mixture.
Place the rye bread crumbs in a tiny bowl. Melt the rest of the two tablespoons of butter. Drizzle the butter within the bread crumbs and blend well having a fork. Sprinkle the crumbs evenly within the casserole.
Bake the casserole for thirty to forty minutes, or until hot and also the topping is gently browned.
Tips and Variations
- Make Ahead - Prepare the casserole and top it using the cheese. Cover the baking dish with foil and refrigerate the casserole. Remove it from the refrigerator about half an hour before baking. Prepare the bread crumbs and sprinkle outrageous. Bake as directed. It could take much more time. The safe minimum temperature for casseroles is 160° F (71.1 °C) on the food thermometer.
- Rather of plain hash browns, use O'Brien style taters with peppers and seasonings.
