Reuben sandwiches. I love them, but unlike a burger, a Reuben without bread just doesn’t quite work. I pretty much always eat grain free, and most of the time I eat low carb or keto, so no bread for me! Not that a breadless Reuben doesn’t taste delicious, but a little pile of corned beef, cheese, and kraut is just not hearty enough for a meal. So, I came up with this Reuben casserole. It tastes like a Reuben with corned beef, cabbage, swiss cheese, and Russian dressing, but with a lot of extra veggies, so it works as a meal. Even my kids love it!
Besides being grain free and low carb/keto, this reuben casserole contains 8 cups of veggies! The cabbage is pretty obvious since this is a reuben after all, but a pound of cauliflower is hiding in this recipe as well! I don’t hide from my kids that I include veggies in a lot of my recipes, but I do like to shred them or chop them finely so that the taste and texture of my kids’ less-than-favorite vegetables are not front and center. This way my kids enjoy the overall dish, and aren’t focused on picking out pieces of veggies!
This recipe makes a large batch, 6–8 servings. To make a casserole for 2–3 people, it can be cut in half pretty easily. Just use a 8” x 8” or 9” x 9” square baking dish.
If you like a lot of cheese, feel free to add more to the casserole itself or on top!
