Toasted Reubens

You’ll feel like you are in the Big Apple tasting this delicious Reuben Sandwich! For a little less kick, omit the horseradish from the Mayonnaise mixture.

After tasting these sandwiches, my husband said this is DDD worthy! Maybe Guy Fieri should make a stop at our house for a quick bite to eat?

Anyhow, with the heat of the summer upon us, I decided that I wanted to start making lighter dinners and decided to give this idea a whirl.

You can use sliced deli corned beef or even leftover corned beef from cooking up a brisket. We used corned beef we had pressure canned earlier in the year.

First step is to mix up the sauce in a small bowl.

For the Reuben Sauce, you will need:

  • 1/2 cup of mayonnaise
  • 3 T. Ketchup
  • 2 T. Sweet Pickle Relish
  • 1 T. Prepared horseradish sauce

Go ahead and mix it up in a bowl. Set aside.

Go ahead and drain corned beef it it’s not drained already. You will also need to drain the liquid off of the Sauerkraut.

For the rest of the Reuben you will need:

  • 4 t. Prepared Mustard
  • 8 slices Rye Bread
  • 1 pound thinly sliced deli corned beef
  • 4 slices of Swiss Cheese
  • 1 can (8 oz.) sauerkraut, rinsed and well drained
  • Butter

Spread mustard on one side of the four slices of bread, then layer with the corned beef, cheese, sauerkraut and mayonnaise mixture, top with remaining bread.

Assemble the sandwiches.

In a large skillet or on a griddle, melt butter over medium heat. Add sandwiches, cover and cook on both sides until bread is lightly toasted and cheese is melted.

Bon Appetite!

Yield: 4 Servings

Hope you enjoy these sandwiches as much as we did!
