Reuben Casserole

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.

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.
