There is nothing quite like a homemade Reuben sandwich. Buttery grilled rye bread, piled with corned beef and sauerkraut. Melted Swiss cheese and thousand island dressing. A corned beef sandwich that is mouthwatering good.

Notes

  • You can use mayonnaise or butter to spread on one side of your bread 
  • Feel free to add a little or a lot of dressing to your sandwich. 
  • I recommend making your sandwiches right when you plan to eat, otherwise, the bread will sog up once pan-fried. 
  • You can warm your sauerkraut in a skillet on the stove and the same for the corned beef if you would like. Then top your sandwich.
