This delicious Reuben Casserole combines all the classic flavors of a Reuben sandwich in a comforting, low-carb casserole form.

Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1 head Cauliflower (cut into bite-sized florets)

Oils and Seasonings

  • 3 tbsp Avocado oil
  • 1/2 tsp Sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black pepper

Other Ingredients

  • 1 14-oz can Sauerkraut (drained)
  • 1 cup Sugar-free thousand island dressing (or any kind you want)
  • 1 lb Corned beef (chopped into bite-size pieces)
  • 8 oz Swiss cheese slices (8 slices; weight may vary depending on thickness)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (204 degrees Celsius) to prepare for roasting the cauliflower.
  2. Toss Cauliflower: In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower florets with avocado oil, sea salt, and black pepper. Toss well to ensure the florets are evenly coated for roasting.
  3. Roast Cauliflower: Spread the cauliflower in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast it in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes until the cauliflower is tender and lightly browned, which will bring out a nutty flavor and enhance texture.
  4. Assemble Casserole: After roasting, keep the oven on. Transfer the roasted cauliflower evenly to the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish. Layer the drained sauerkraut over the cauliflower, then drizzle the sugar-free thousand island dressing on top. Add the chopped corned beef evenly, and finally cover the entire casserole with Swiss cheese slices.
  5. Bake Casserole: Place the assembled casserole back in the oven and bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld, the casserole to heat through fully, and the cheese to melt and get bubbly, creating a golden topping.

Notes

  • You can substitute avocado oil with olive oil if preferred.
  • Drain the sauerkraut well to avoid excess moisture in the casserole.
  • Use sugar-free thousand island dressing to reduce sugar content, but you can opt for regular dressing or homemade versions to suit your taste.
  • If you like a crispier cheese topping, broil the casserole for 1-2 minutes at the end but watch carefully to prevent burning.
  • This casserole is a low-carb alternative to the classic Reuben sandwich, ideal for keto-friendly meal plans.
