St. Patrick's Day

It seems like spring today. The sun is shining and the temperature is supposed to get above 50 degrees. I think that the grass is beginning to start turning green but then St. Patrick's is right around the corner. Annie's Accents Bakery is getting in gear for it by making Shamrock cookies and also offering Green Jalapeno Pepper Jam. My great great grandparents on my great grandmother's side of the family came from County Cork in Ireland. We of course have Corned Beef on St. Patrick's Day. I have a Reuben Casserole just for St. Patrick's Day. Here it is

Reuben Casserole

16 oz. Sour Kraut

1 c. Sour Cream

1/2 c. Chopped Onion

1/2 c. Margarine

12 oz. can of Corned Beef

3/4 grated Swiss Cheese

1/2 lb loaf of Rye Bread

Thousand Island Dressing or Sandwich Spread (Optional)

Combine Kraut, sour cream and onion. Place in 8 X 8 X 2 pan. Crumble corn beef over mixture. Top with cheese and put bread crumbed up on top of cheese. Pour margarine over all and bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees. After the casserole has baked, I then add a layer of thousand Island Dressing or Sandwich Spread.

I hope that you enjoy St. Patrick's Day.
