The oven has worked hard

I have been online quite a bit, but the oven has worked hard today as well. I had an open package of bacon, so I baked it in the oven. It is now in a box waiting to be eaten a strip or two at a time. In the oven now is a Reuben casserole. It involves cubed rye bread, corned beef, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut and Thousand Island dressing as well as a few other things. I have not made it in a while. It can be made with pastrami. We will get two, maybe three meals from it. It smells so good!! So did the bacon.

I just finished to prepare an orange chutney that I will serve this evening with Moroccan koftas. The house smells good.

I think I had Koftas once at a restaurant where Grandpa Bob's wife Deb used to work. Chutneys are delicious.

@GardenGerty It was really good, it's a recipe I found in a magazine years ago and I never tried it.

Your oven worked hard and you will enjoy the fruits of its labor.

@just4him I do not always want the leftovers right away. I am pretty easy to please, though.

@GardenGerty That's good you do. I've never done that. I usually don't know what I want to eat before I make it.

There are several recipes online. I have gone so far as to also use the same method and use ham and cheddar. Fewer carbs than a sandwich but same wonderful taste.

I love bacon from the oven. Your reuben casserole sounds really good. I will have to try it sometime.

I love a good Reuben but not sure I have had a casserole of it before...sounds like a winner to me.

Ah bacon, I wish I have a strip or two right now. I have not heard or tried making a Reuben casserole, but I am familiar with a Reuben sandwich. It sounds good and pretty straightforward. I will add it to my list of meals to make and try.

I ran across the recipe on FaceBook once and now it is part of our regular meals. Especially in cold weather.

Bacon always has a lovely smell. I haven't heard of a Rueben casserole.

It has all the tasty ingredients, but not as much bread as a sandwich. It is a good change of pace.
