St Patrick’s day has always been a lot of fun. Green clothing, shamrock crafts, and lots of good food! This year we thought we would celebrate St Patrick’s day with a twist on the usual corned beef and cabbage, So for this week’s blog, we are sharing a recipe for a Ruben Bake Casserole!! This dish combines the flavors of a delicious Ruben sandwich with the comfort and warmth of a homemade casserole. Plus casseroles are an amazing, easy way to feed the whole family!
