Hello! My name is Jordanne and I’m a dietetic intern from Oklahoma State University. Being from a small German town in Texas, I have grown up eating sauerkraut, sausage, and my all-time favorite, Reuben sandwiches! Nothing beats sauerkraut, corned beef, and melted Swiss cheese. YUM. A traditional Reuben includes rye bread, but the awesome news is that it tastes just as good without it! By using a ramekin to make this dish, you eliminate the need for the bread and you get automatic portion control!
This recipe is not only great for bariatric patients, but the entire family will love it as well!
Let’s get started with the Reuben in a Ramekin .
