Classic Reuben flavor made keto-friendly: this Easy Reuben In A Bowl Recipe captures everything you love about a traditional Reuben without the carbs. Simple to prepare and satisfying for lunch or dinner any day of the week.

Easy Reuben In A Bowl Recipe Ingredients

2 – 10 ounce packages of sliced coleslaw (angel hair style recommended)
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 pounds corned beef, thinly sliced from the deli (or use homemade corned beef)
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste
Garlic powder, to taste
Butter
1/2 cup Swiss cheese, shredded
Thousand Island dressing, for drizzling

Note: Sauerkraut can be used instead of coleslaw if you prefer a tangier Reuben-style bowl.

Easy Reuben In A Bowl Recipe Instructions

Heat a large frying pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. Add the angel hair coleslaw (or sauerkraut if using).
Sauté for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage becomes slightly translucent and tender.
Shred or chop the corned beef and add it to the pan with the cabbage.
Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, then add a knob of butter.
Cook, stirring, until the corned beef is warmed through and the butter has melted into the mixture.
Sprinkle the shredded Swiss cheese evenly across the top of the cabbage and beef.
Cover the pan briefly or reduce the heat so the cheese melts completely.
Serve immediately, drizzling Thousand Island dressing over each bowl just before eating.
Optional: Enjoy with a Keto Rye Bread Chaffle on the side for an extra sandwich-like experience.
