Grilled Reuben Sandwich

I made this easy "cheat" reuben sandwich with leftover meat, cheese, & bread from my #reubencasserolebake but I didnt have any leftover #russiandressing or sauerkraut. I did however, have a jar of "Traditional Polish Salad" which is basically sauerkraut with the addition of carrot, red pepper, & onion. I also used a handy "Burger King, Zesty Sauce" container in place of a more traditional reuben sauce. Further, I just happened to have both sliced & shredded swiss cheese handy as I had recently used them in a casserole. However, one or the other would also work just fine.👌

Here’s a spin on a sandwich classic that uses sliced roasted turkey breast (from holiday dinner), reheated well-cooked sauerkraut, fresh homemade Russian dressing and slices of Swiss cheese for some “melted-goodness” between marble rye bread slices. Feel free to make substitutions to your liking. Rick M -

Nan's Reuben Sandwich Nan's Reuben Sandwich
Hands down my all-time favorite sandwich; and no restaurant version I've ever tried has even come close. One reason it's the best is because I only use Boar's Head brand kraut and corned beef or pastrami which is, hands-down, the very best. Another important factor is draining the kraut very well and warming it, and the meat, before building and grilling the sandwich. A traditional Reuben uses a red dressing (Russian or Thousand Island), but I think it's much better with brown mustard.Personally, I prefer making it with corned beef, but our grocery is sometimes out of it; and, honestly, when I use pastrami instead, there's very little difference in the deliciousness. If using the fattier pastrami, be sure to trim away any fat first. My two housemates don't like sauerkraut (crazy), so I leave it off theirs.#GoldenApron23 Maggie Conlon -

An old friend I used to work with would make these a couple of times a week. This is for the memories. Once in a while he would put mayonnaise on it but most of the time he put butter. skunkmonkey101 -
