Amazing Reuben Sandwich Recipe

Tweet

I don't even like Reubens and I like these! My husband (who LOVES Reubens) says they're pretty smashing--his favorite, in fact.  And they are quick, cheap, and won't heat up the kitchen during the hot summer months!

P.S.  They go great with homemade sweet potato fries. :D

Best Ever Rueben Sandwich
Yield: 6 sandwiches
 
INGREDIENTS

Sandwich
12 slices Russian rye bread
2 cups grated mozzerella cheese
2 - 2 oz pkgs Buddig corned beef (or deli meat if you can afford it)
2 - 2 oz pkgs Buddig pastrami (or deli meat if you can afford it)
1 -15 oz can sauerkraut (again, you can get higher quality if you want)
1/2 cup Russian Dressing (recipe below)
butter or margarine

Dressing
Combine the following ingredients. Makes one half cup.
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1 1/2 Tbsp ketchup
1 1/2 teaspoons spicey brown mustard
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

DIRECTIONS

Use wax paper to line your preparation space.  Place six pieces of  bread on the paper.  Butter the facing up side of each piece of the bread, then flip it over. Spread Russian dressing on the unbuttered side. Evenly distribute the beef and the pastrami on the bread. Sprinkle mozzerella cheese on top of the meat. Use the top of the can to squeeze out as much of the saurkraut juice as possible; spread the kraut on the cheese. Top with a second piece of rye and butter the top. Fry in a frying pan on medium heat until browned and mozzerella starts to melt.
