I made this for SuperBowl this year. OUTSTANDING! Tasted just like a Rueben. I tweeked the falvorings to my families liking (no caraway-replaced with garlic, no swiss-replaced with Gruyère] added peas...but very easy to make & a big hit! Feeds way more than 4-6 people. 8 of us ate & there were still left-overs. The only reason I gave it 4 verses 5 stars was becuase it was very rich...and when making Shepherd's Pie I prefer it to be more mild so as to be in the Comfort Food catagory.

Very tasty!! My family really enjoyed it, but it was way to big for us, so we will cut down the recipe next time. I found the kraut to pie ratio just right. I did make a couple of changes.... I used left over mashed potatoes with the caraway seed mixed in it and due to food allergies we used ginger ale instead of beer. This was a hit and we will make again.

A nice change of pace. I actually made this yesterday so it had time to sit and meld overnight before baking. I will say this was rather labor intensive, in part because I prepared my own corned beef in the pressure cooker. The family was not crazy with the potatoes. I think next time I might sub hash browns instead or just the usual mashed with the cheeses on top. We thought the kraut to pie ratio was just right. It was moist and flavorful. Loved the homemade russian dressing. Another winner Rachael. Love the way you think out of the box!

I had Sunday dinner menu all set, then watched Rachael's show cooking this. Wife and I looked at each other...menu change! It turned out awesome. Everything worked well together and the water crest was perfect on top.
Thanks Rachael!

I've been cooking for almost 50 years and consider myself a very good cook and I love rueben sandwiches but this was awful. It's true that first you eat with your eyes, but OMG do not put this in your mouth. The filling was runny and tasteless and way to much Kraut. As a matter of fact the kraut was all that you could taste. The potatoes were dry and really crunchy. I always try a recipe with the exact ingredients that it calls for and if it is ok I will make it again exactly as is or with some adjustments. But this was a total waste of ingredients. The only one that liked it was my male Pug dog Barney. Sorry Rach but this is not worth giving a second chance and if I could I would rate it a zero.
