Reuben in a Bowl

Mar 05, 2025Anthony Williams

  1. Sizzle Up the Beef
    Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Toss in the corned beef and Hazy Midnight seasoning. Let it get warm, sizzly, and a little crispy—about 5 minutes, covered.

  2. Steam & Soften the Veggies
    Add the coleslaw mix and sauerkraut right into the skillet. Stir it in, cover again, and let it cook for another 5 minutes until the cabbage gets soft but still holds some sass.

  3. Get Cheesy
    Stir everything up, then top with Swiss cheese. You can either:

    • Cover the skillet and melt it right there, OR

    • Toss the skillet under the broiler for 2–3 minutes until it bubbles like lava. (Just don’t walk away. Cheese drama happens fast.)

  4. Dress to Impress
    While cheese melts, mix all your Russian dressing ingredients in a bowl. Taste it. Add more hot sauce if you’re feeling spicy.

  5. Final Touch
    Drizzle the warm bowl with that glorious dressing, top with scallions, and serve hot with a pint in hand.

Love a good Reuben but hate feeling like a corned beef balloon? This flavor-loaded, low-carb Reuben in a Bowl gives you all the taste and none of the bloat, so there’s still plenty of room for Guinness (or two). Somewhere between a deli sandwich and a keto fever dream, this no-bun, no-bloat, fully-loaded Reuben Bowl is everything you love—melty Swiss, sau...

Ingredients

Main Bowl:

  • 1 lb corned beef, sliced or shredded (use deli slices or leftovers, or cook your own)
  • 1 bag (12-14 oz) coleslaw mix (no dressing)
  • 1 cup sauerkraut, drained
  • 2–3 tbsp butter
  • 1–2 tbsp Hazy Midnight seasoning (be generous)
  • 1 cup shredded or sliced Swiss cheese
  • Scallions, sliced (optional but sexy)

Easy Russian Dressing:

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sugar-free ketchup
  • 4 tsp prepared horseradish (the good stuff)
  • 1 tsp hot sauce (or more if you're spicy)
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • Pinch of black pepper

Instructions

  1. Sizzle Up the Beef
    Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Toss in the corned beef and Hazy Midnight seasoning. Let it get warm, sizzly, and a little crispy—about 5 minutes, covered.

  2. Steam & Soften the Veggies
    Add the coleslaw mix and sauerkraut right into the skillet. Stir it in, cover again, and let it cook for another 5 minutes until the cabbage gets soft but still holds some sass.

  3. Get Cheesy
    Stir everything up, then top with Swiss cheese. You can either:

    • Cover the skillet and melt it right there, OR

    • Toss the skillet under the broiler for 2–3 minutes until it bubbles like lava. (Just don’t walk away. Cheese drama happens fast.)

  4. Dress to Impress
    While cheese melts, mix all your Russian dressing ingredients in a bowl. Taste it. Add more hot sauce if you’re feeling spicy.

  5. Final Touch
    Drizzle the warm bowl with that glorious dressing, top with scallions, and serve hot with a pint in hand.

Pro Tip

If you're making your own corned beef, rub it down with Hazy Midnight before adding your usual pickling spice mix. It’s the flavor glow-up that deli meat deserves.
