Reccomended Recipes From Take Two Tapas
Meatball Casserole
When I had to pick one of Take Two Tapas recipes, I finally settled on her Savory Reuban Meatballs. I chose this meatball casserole because I love a good Reuben recipe! This Reuben casserole sounded amazing!
Corned Beef Recipes
St Patrick’s Day is HUGE here in Cleveland. Everyone here in Cleveland keeps asking me if I have any corned beef recipes. What is nice about corned beef recipes is they also make for a good Reuben recipe.
Cooking Tip:
Canned Corned Beef
Now I did make tiny changes to Jennifer’s meatball casserole. Like she made her reuben recipe as a skillet casserole, and I made it more as an oven casserole. Plus after making these meatballs a few times I used canned corned beef instead of griding up the corned beef.
Reuben Recipe
A reuben recipe is simple it is:
- corned beef
- sauerkraut
- swiss cheese
- thousand island dressing
- rye or pumpernickel bread
So to make this reuben casserole, you need all those ingredients in order to make this a reuben recipe.
Cocktail Bread
Since this is a reuben casserole, I knew I could serve it up with cocktail bread. I also needed a binder to keep the canned corned beef formed into meatballs.What I did was take some of the cocktail bread and made them into breadcrumbs for the binder.
By doing that, the meatballs embraced that wonderful Reuben flavor to them. Plus I felt that this corned beef recipe would really embrace that Reuban taste.

I love that you added the pumpernickel to the casserole! And I am a total sucker for Kerry Gold anything. We use their butter all the time. When it goes on sale I buy as many blocks as possible. This casserole is perfect for St. Patrick's Day!
