Reuben Sandwich

A Reuben sandwich is one of my family's fix-it-quick favorites. They are really delicious and easy to make. I like to serve them with big bowls of steaming vegetable soup and dill pickles on the side.

Ingredients

  • 8 slices rye bread

  • ½ cup Thousand Island dressing

  • 8 slices Swiss cheese

  • 8 slices deli sliced corned beef

  • 1 cup sauerkraut, drained

  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened

Directions

  1. Preheat a large griddle or skillet over medium heat.

  2. Spread one side of bread slices evenly with Thousand Island dressing. On four bread slices, layer one slice Swiss cheese, 2 slices corned beef, 1/4 cup sauerkraut, and a second slice of Swiss cheese. Top with remaining bread slices, dressing-side down. Butter the top of each sandwich.

  3. Place sandwiches, butter-side down on the preheated griddle; butter the top of each sandwich with remaining butter. Grill until both sides are golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Serve hot.
