Keto Reuben In A Bowl: A Low-Carb Twist on a Classic Favorite
When I first went low-carb, I missed my favorite deli sandwiches the most—especially a good Reuben. One chilly evening, I whipped up this Reuben-in-a-bowl twist… and let me tell you, it was love at first bite. It’s cozy, satisfying, and tastes just like the sandwich, minus the bread! If you’re looking for something quick, comforting, and keto-friendly, this dish is a winner.
Give it a try tonight and bring that deli flavor home!
