how to make Keto Reuben Casserole

Make this casserole in a baking dish. You will layer the corned beef, drain and rinse the sauerkraut, add a creamy mustard sauce, and top with Swiss cheese. Bake until hot and the cheese melts. Let it rest a few minutes before serving.

Ingredients :

• 1 lb cooked corned beef, chopped or shredded
• 2 cups sauerkraut, drained and rinsed
• 1 cup mayonnaise (or keto mayo)
• 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 1 tsp apple cider vinegar (optional)
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• 8 oz Swiss cheese, shredded or sliced
• 2 tbsp butter, melted (optional, for top)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh chopped parsley for garnish (optional)

Directions :

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9 inch baking dish.
2. In a bowl, mix mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, sour cream, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. This is the sauce.
3. Spread half of the corned beef in the bottom of the dish.
4. Top the meat with the drained sauerkraut in an even layer.
5. Spread half of the sauce over the sauerkraut.
6. Add the remaining corned beef on top.
7. Pour the rest of the sauce over the top layer of meat.
8. Cover with Swiss cheese. Brush melted butter on the cheese if you like a browner top.
9. Bake 20–25 minutes until hot and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
10. Let rest 5 minutes, then garnish with parsley and serve.

how to serve Keto Reuben Casserole

Serve hot in squares. Add a small side salad or keto pickles. Spoon a little extra mustard or low carb Thousand Island on the side for dipping. This casserole works well as a main dish for dinner or a warm lunch.

how to store Keto Reuben Casserole

Cool the casserole to room temperature. Cover and store in the fridge for up to 3–4 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave or warm in the oven at 325°F (160°C) until hot. To freeze, wrap tightly in foil and freeze up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.

tips to make Keto Reuben Casserole

• Drain and rinse sauerkraut well to reduce excess tang and moisture.
• Use thinly shredded Swiss for even melting.
• If corned beef is salty, rinse lightly or reduce added salt.
• Let the casserole rest a few minutes after baking so it firms up and slices cleanly.
• For a creamier top, mix a little extra mayo into the cheese before baking.

variation (if any)

• Pastrami Reuben: swap corned beef for pastrami for a slightly different flavor.
• Low dairy: use dairy-free cheese and a mayo-based sauce.
• Add a thin layer of low carb rye-style croutons or toasted almond flour topping for crunch.

FAQs

Q: Can I use canned corned beef?
A: Yes. Drain and break it up before layering. Fresh or deli corned beef gives better texture, but canned works.

Q: Is this recipe very high in fat?
A: It is higher in fat to keep carbs low, which fits a typical keto plan. Use light mayo or less cheese if you want lower fat.

Q: Can I make this ahead?
A: Yes. Assemble the casserole, cover, and refrigerate up to 24 hours. Bake when ready. Increase bake time slightly if baking from cold.

Q: Can I use Swiss slices instead of shredded cheese?
A: Yes. Lay slices over the top and bake the same way. Slices melt well and give a classic look.

Q: How do I reduce the strong sauerkraut taste?
A: Rinse sauerkraut well and squeeze out excess liquid. Mix some of the sauce into the sauerkraut to mellow the flavor.
