My Reuben Stuffed Meatloaf is a delicious twist on my classic meatloaf recipe. An incredibly flavorful meat mixture is rolled with sandwich ingredients, creating a tender meatloaf that is sure to become one of your favorite comfort foods! It's inherently gluten free and low carb, as well!<\/p>\n

Meatloaf is known to be a classic comfort food, but - truth be told - I\u2019ve never been one to bother making a traditional meatloaf recipe. <\/p>\n

The closest thing I have to a regular meatloaf is my Scotch Egg Meatloaf<\/a>. <\/p>\n

It was my favorite meatloaf recipe for many years - the use of vegetables packed so much flavor into each one, and the egg added a fun appearance AND a good hit of protein.<\/p>\n

Add some green beans or broccoli, and it was a perfect way to have a high protein, relatively low carb meal that the whole family would love.<\/p><\/div>\n

Lately, though, I\u2019ve really been playing around with my homemade meatloaf recipes.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been super bus, and throwing on a meatloaf is a great way to ensure that we\u2019ve got a meal ready, when I forget to plan\/cook for dinner.<\/p>\n

One meatloaf only takes maybe 15 minutes of work, and can be sliced up and reheated as an easy weeknight dinner for a few days to come.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s not to love?<\/p><\/div>\n

Stuffed Meatloaf Recipes!<\/h4>\n

Anyway, I\u2019ve been designing a few different cheese-stuffed meatloaf recipes over the last year or two. Stromboli Meatloaf<\/a> is a show stopper, Thanksgiving Turkey Meatloaf<\/a> is a great holiday option, and my Chicken Cordon Bleu Meatloaf<\/a> has been a go-to for a long time now. Muffaletta Stuffed Meatloaf<\/a> might just be my favourite, though!<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s recipe is along the same lines - a rolled meatloaf with gooey cheese inside.<\/p>\n

... but it\u2019s also got corned beef and sauerkraut inside, a well seasoned meat mixture, and Thousand Island topping!<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not the only sandwich-themed meatloaf I\u2019ve developed lately... including the one that just maybe the best meatloaf recipe I\u2019ve ever done.<\/p>\n

Be sure to subscribe to our newsletter, so you\u2019ll know when I get around to posting that one - and the others!<\/p>\n

In the meantime, let\u2019s get to this Reuben Meatloaf recipe!<\/p><\/div>\n

Stuffed Meatloaf Ingredients<\/h2>\n

This recipe uses really simple ingredients, all of which should be easy to find in pretty much any grocery store.<\/p>\n

A few notes for you:<\/p>\n

Ground Chicken<\/h4>\n

I use ground chicken for this, as I like the way it works with the seasonings, to provide a good base for the corned beef and melted cheese.. Without overpowering them.<\/p>\n

That said, you can make this stuffed meatloaf recipe with ground turkey, lean ground beef, ground pork, or a combination of any of these, if you like.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Corned Beef<\/h4>\n

I\u2019ll generally use deli sliced corned beef, as it\u2019s the easiest to roll and layer. <\/p>\n

If you can\u2019t find corned beef for whatever reason, you can use deli sliced pastrami or Montreal Smoked Meat, for a similar flavour profile.<\/p>\n

That said, you CAN use myHomemade Corned Beef<\/a>, if you\u2019d like.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll just want to chill it really well and use a really sharp knife to thinly cut the meat across the grain.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Swiss Cheese<\/h4>\n

I usually use Swiss Cheese slices, as that\u2019s what we tend to have on hand. If you want to use shredded Swiss cheese, use 1 \u00bd cups or so.<\/p>\n

If you want to play with the flavours in this one - and veer away from it being a Reuben - you can use Pepper Jack cheese, or even a sharp cheddar cheese.<\/p>\n

Sauerkraut<\/h4>\n

You can use whatever sauerkraut you like, the big thing is that you want it VERY well drained.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll drain mine for 20 minutes or so before getting started, then squeeze it in a couple layers of paper towels, for good measure.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Thousand Island Dressing<\/h4>\n

Like most meatloaf recipes, this one involves a relatively sweet sauce.<\/p>\n

Rather than using bbq sauce, tomato sauce, or some kind of ketchup glaze, this delicious cheesy meatloaf uses Thousand Island Dressing - just like the sandwich.<\/p>\n

Just be sure to use a gluten free dressing, if you need this meatloaf to be gluten free.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re not a fan of Thousand Island - or have to avoid it due to other allergens - The Dijon mustard sauce on my Chicken Cordon Bleu Meatloaf<\/a> would work well with this.<\/p>\n

Not technically \u201cReuben\u201d at that point... but Mustard does go really well with corned beef, Swiss cheese, and sauerkraut in general!<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Everything Else<\/h4>\n

Rounding out this recipe, you\u2019ll need:<\/p>\n

1 Large Egg
\nCaraway Seeds<\/a>
\nOnion Powder<\/a>
\nGarlic Powder<\/a>
\nSalt and Ground Black Pepper<\/a><\/p>\n

... I just really don\u2019t have anything to add, as far as these last few ingredients go. Pantry staples, for the most part!<\/p><\/div>\n
