01
Step 1
Start by heating a large skillet over medium-high heat. Toss in the corned beef and cook it until it’s nice and crispy all around, which should take about 5 minutes. While that’s cooking, drain the sauerkraut and mix it with the caraway seeds in a bowl.

Step 2
Next, move your oven rack so it’s about 6 inches from the broiler and preheat the broiler to high. Grab an oven-safe skillet and spread half of the chips in the bottom. Scatter half of the crispy corned beef and half of the sauerkraut over the chips. Drizzle half of the Thousand Island dressing on top, then sprinkle half of the Swiss cheese over everything.

Step 3
Repeat those layers once more with the remaining ingredients. Pop the skillet under the broiler and watch it closely for about 5 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Then it’s ready to dig into!
Why you’ll love it
This dish combines the bold flavors of a classic Reuben sandwich with the fun and shareable nature of nachos. It’s perfect for gatherings and offers a delicious twist on traditional toppings. The mix of tangy sauerkraut, savory corned beef, and melted cheese makes every bite satisfying.
How to serve
Serve with a side of Thousand Island or Russian dressing for dipping. A cold beer or a crisp pickle can complement the rich flavors well. This dish works great as an appetizer or a casual meal shared among friends.
Storage & leftovers
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to keep the chips crispy and the cheese melted. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the chips soggy.
