You'll ❤️ This Reuben Bake with Meatballs

Low Carb and Keto Meatballs

This reuben casserole is made with low carb meatballs that are keto-friendly by using nutritional flakes instead of bread crumbs.

One Pan Meal

Made in an ovenproof skillet, like a cast-iron pan, this casserole is the perfect thing for making an easy one-pan meal. I use my cast iron skillet all of the time. It is one of my favorite pans to use. They last forever! If you don't have one I highly recommend!

So Delicious

If you love reuben sandwiches you are sure to love this casserole! I love the combination of meatballs, sauce, with the sauerkraut and melted swiss.

Low Carb and Keto Reuben Casserole

A reuben without the carbs! Yum. As I mentioned before this is a low carb and keto reuben casserole made with meatballs that are low carb - no breadcrumbs! It also uses a sugar-free thousand island dressing.
