Confession:
I love Reuben sandwiches. I don’t know if it’s the corned beef (We love a good smoked corned beef brisket.), the Swiss cheese (mmmmmhmmmmm, smelly cheese), sauerkraut, Russian dressing or rye bread, but any time I see a Reuben sandwich on the menu, I’m in.

I use Primal Kitchen Mayo made with avocado oil. Ingredients: Avocado oil, organic cage-free eggs, organic cage-free egg yolks, organic vinegar, sea salt, organic rosemary extract. Yaaaaas! No canola oil, no sugar. Just six simple ingredients. I’m in love!

Posted at 12:10h, 01 DecemberLooks really good but I have a couple questions.
1. I’m assuming what ingredients are for the thousand island dressing, are you just hand mixing those until combined?
2. When do you add the dressing into the casserole? I don’t see that step in the instructions.
3. What size casserole dish?
Kristi Barnes
Posted at 12:49h, 01 DecemberYes, sorry about that! I left out a major part of the recipe. It’s fixed now. 1) Hand mix those dressing ingredients and 2) pour it over the last layer of meat. The one cup of whole milk shouldn’t be in there. I’m not sure where that came from. I whipped up another batch really quickly to make sure. 3) It’s 3 quarts (9”x11”).

Posted at 11:44h, 21 JanuaryDo I add the dressing once or twice confused?
Jodi
Posted at 17:53h, 05 JanuaryIs the meat pre-cooked or raw? I have raw chunks of corned beef that I want to use.

Posted at 16:54h, 24 JulyPre-cooked, but you can cook it first.

Posted at 21:52h, 16 MarchGreat for St Patty’s Day! I made this tonight and…amazing! I used Sir Kensington special sauce instead of making my own thousand island dressing-cut down on time and still reasonable on carbs. Waited 5 minutes after taking from oven to set and it cut so nicely as a result. It was delicious, filling and 2 thumbs up on taste and texture.

Posted at 11:22h, 12 AprilOk, I’m going to fix this for my family. I just retired this past year from an educatuon profession. My wife is gluten free so I’m excited to try this. I am a hunter and will sub the corner beef for a Canada goose pastromi.
My questions are: why isn’t thousand island dressing used and what else can I prepare with this casserole that is keto friendly and also gluten free?
Thank you . West Nebraska.

Posted at 17:14h, 24 JulyHello. In general, the Thousand Island dressing you find at the grocery store is going to be filled with sugar and other questionable ingredients. The sauce in this casserole has the same flavors. I like to serve my casseroles with a green veggie like roasted Brussels sprouts (be careful on the carb count for these) or steamed broccoli.

Posted at 11:26h, 12 AprilI’m a retired teacher who would like to surprise my family today with this casserole. I also hunt so I’ll substitute the corned beef with smoked Canada goose pastromi. I have a couple questions.
1. Why isn’t thousand island used in this recipe?
2. What other entrees can I include in this meal that are gluten free and keto friendly?
Thank you.

Posted at 19:08h, 24 AugustOMG!!!! This dish is amazing. Followed the recipe as instructed using boars head sliced corned beef.
Definitely satisfied my taste for a corned beef sandwich, minus the carbs. Thanks for the recipe

Posted at 13:46h, 19 SeptemberI thought this was good. I used fresh cabbage and mixed it with the sauce b4 layering…more cohesive. I also used doll pickle relish
Amy Jo Sledge
Posted at 17:41h, 30 OctoberI used 1 cup of braised red cabbage in place of the corned beef to make it vegetarian. Turned out absolutely delicious!
Hannah
Posted at 22:39h, 19 NovemberI doubled the recipe, used a 9×13 pan, layer of meat, kraut, german barrel pickles that I just did coin slices on, the eggy sauce, then cheese because. One layer of each fit that pan perfectly. The sauce baked and made it almost like a custard binding everything together is how I see it and it was AMAZING. I will definitely look to make this again at some point.

Posted at 14:22h, 27 JanuaryThis is wonderful! I cut it in half for two of us, used Pastrami rather than Corned Beef, and a little extra kraut and pickles. We ate it with a side of Dijon mustard and it’s delish!
Kristi Barnes
Posted at 08:49h, 15 FebruaryYay! I’m so glad you liked it! I love pastrami too.

Posted at 20:12h, 22 FebruaryDelicious. Thank you!

Posted at 23:22h, 25 JuneThis meal wouldn’t be freezer friendly would it?
Kristi Barnes
Posted at 08:05h, 26 JulyUnfortunately, no. 🙁 I don’t think the sauerkraut and sauce would freeze well.
