Reuben sandwiches are satisfying comfort food.
They’re packed full of mouthwatering flavors: sweet, salty, and tangy. That said, one of the key components of a Reuben is the rye bread, which is a no-go for keto. No worries – we’ve got an easy keto Reuben in a mug to get you that rye bread flavor without kicking your body out of ketosis!
What’s a Reuben?
A traditional Reuben sandwich is made of corned beef, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and Russian or Thousand Island dressing. These are then grilled between slices of rye bread.
Our keto-friendly version skips the bread and is cooked in a mug in the microwave. The secret for getting that authentic Reuben flavor without the bread? Caraway seeds! It’s what gives rye bread its distinct flavor.
Hip Tips:
- Skip the canned corned beef and use the real thing.
- To save cook time during the week, make a corned beef brisket in the slow cooker or Instant pot on the weekend.
- Then, thinly slice the corned beef into strips to keep on hand for a quick Reuben in a Mug during the busy week.
