Reuben Sandwich

A Reuben sandwich is the perfect fix-it-quick meal that combines savory corned beef, melted Swiss cheese, and tangy sauerkraut, all sandwiched between crispy, buttery rye bread. It’s one of my family’s go-to favorites and pairs beautifully with a big bowl of steaming vegetable soup and crunchy dill pickles on the side.

What Is a Reuben Sandwich?

A Reuben is a grilled sandwich made with corned beef, Swiss cheese, and sauerkraut on rye bread, all dressed in either Russian or Thousand Island dressing. It’s a beloved classic in Jewish-style delis, though it’s technically not kosher because it combines meat and cheese.

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 the griddle.
   Gather all the ingredients and preheat a large griddle or skillet over medium heat.

2. Prepare the bread.
   Spread one side of each bread slice evenly with Thousand Island dressing.

3. Assemble the sandwich.
   On four slices of bread, layer one slice of Swiss cheese, two slices of corned beef, ¼ cup of sauerkraut, and a second slice of Swiss cheese. Top each with the remaining bread slices, dressing-side down. Butter the top of each sandwich.

4. Grill the sandwiches.
   Place the sandwiches, butter-side down, onto the preheated griddle. Butter the top of each sandwich with the remaining butter. Grill until both sides are golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes per side.

5. Serve hot.
   Once the sandwiches are golden and crispy, serve them hot and enjoy the perfect blend of flavors!
