St. Patrick’s Day is tomorrow, and if you aren’t spending your weekend in Walt Disney World or Disneyland, you might be feeling a little left out of all the fun. So, let’s make our own luck and create something awesome from home! This weekend, I am making this Disney recipe for Reuben Totchos from Disney’s Animal Kingdom since corned beef is a dish that has been long associated with St. Patrick’s Day celebrations in America. Let’s take a look at what we are going to need:
St. Patrick’s Day Reuben Totchos from Disney’s Animal Kingdom
Serves 4-6
INGREDIENTS
- 2 slices marble rye bread
- 1/2 cup Thousand Island dressing
- 1/4 cup whole grain mustard
- 1 (2 pound) package frozen potato barrels
- 1 (15 ounce) jar cheddar cheese sauce
- 2 cups canned or bagged sauerkraut
- 1 cup shredded green cabbage
- 1 pound sliced top round corned beef
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
FOR REUBEN TOTCHOS:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Cut marble rye bread into 1/4-inch cubes. Place on baking sheet and cook for 5-7 minutes, until toasted. Set aside.
- Combine Thousand Island dressing and whole grain mustard in small bowl. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Cook frozen potato barrels according to package directions and keep warm until ready to serve.
- Heat cheddar cheese sauce in small saucepan over medium-low heat, until warm. Keep warm.
- Heat sauerkraut in medium saucepan over medium heat for 8 minutes, until warm. Remove from heat and cool for 3 minutes. If needed, drain any excess liquid. Stir in shredded green cabbage. Set aside.
- Slice corned beef into thin strips. Heat large skillet over medium-high heat for 5 minutes, until hot. Add corned beef and sauté for 3 minutes, until corned beef is warm and edges begin to crisp.

Note: Always use caution when handling sharp objects and hot contents. Please supervise children who are helping or nearby. This recipe has been converted from a larger quantity in the restaurant kitchens. The flavor profile may vary from the restaurant’s version.
