Description

A classic Reuben sandwich with corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, and Thousand Island dressing, grilled to golden melty perfection on rye.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 slices rye bread
  • 4 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 8 slices Swiss cheese
  • 1 pound sliced corned beef
  • 1 cup sauerkraut, drained
  • ½ cup Thousand Island dressing

Instructions

  • Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
  • Spread butter on one side of each slice of rye bread.
  • Place 4 slices of bread, buttered side down, on a clean surface.
  • Layer each with 1 slice of Swiss cheese, a generous portion of corned beef, ¼ cup sauerkraut, and 2 tablespoons of Thousand Island dressing.
  • Top with another slice of Swiss cheese and a second slice of rye bread, buttered side up.
  • Transfer sandwiches to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy with melted cheese.
  • Remove from heat, slice in half, and serve warm

Notes

  • For extra flavor, use Russian dressing instead of Thousand Island.
  • If you prefer a less tangy taste, rinse and pat dry the sauerkraut before adding it.
  • Serve with pickles and chips for a classic deli experience.
