Ingredients

  • 4 tsp. unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 slices Rye & Pumpernickel Deli Swirl Bread
  • 4 tbsp. Russian dressing
  • ½ cup sauerkraut, drained
  • 8 slices Swiss cheese, thinly sliced
  • ½ lb. corned beef, thinly sliced

Instructions

  • Lightly butter one side of each rye bread slice with one teaspoon butter. Place two slices, buttered side down in a large skillet.
  • Spread one tablespoon of the Russian dressing on top of each each slice in the skillet. Top each slice with 2 slices Swiss cheese. Top the Swiss cheese with 1/4 cup sauerkraut. Top each sandwich evenly with the corned beef and then two more slices each of Swiss cheese.
  • Spread dry side of of second slices of bread with another tablespoon of Russian dressing and place it on top of the Swiss cheese buttered side up.
  • Grill the sandwiches over medium-low heat until both sides are lightly browned and cheese is melted and corned beef is heated through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • I like to use lean corned beef from the deli counter for our sandwiches. I have them slice the corned beef nice and thin. I use about 6 or 7 slices per sandwich.
  • I use two layers of Swiss cheese. Two slices at the bottom of the sandwich and two slices on top.
  • You can enjoy your reuben sandwich hot or cold. We love ours grilled.
