Reuben Sandwiches

I'm hungry for reubens. There are as many ways to make reubens as there are mothers. I think a lot of how mothers end up deciding on a recipe depends on what ingredients are available to them. We lived out in the middle of nowhere, so not much was available in terms of quality corned beef. Even so, I love this particular recipe for reubens, so that is how I make them.

Reuben sandwich night is the perfect night for the soup/salad/sandwich routine. Its fairly healthy and really easy to put together. I don't have the time to make any soup today, so I will have to try some canned. I always try to find something exotic at the store.

Reuben Sandwiches

2 slices of dark pumpernickle rye bread
1 slice swiss cheese
a few slices of corned beef. We always got the kind that comes in the plastic package, is square, and sliced real thin. I don't even know if it is real corned beef but it tastes good. Carl Budding is the brand that comes to mind.
sour kraut
thousand island dressing or Russian dressing

Place beef on bread, then sour kraut, then dressing, then cheese. Butter the outsides of the bread and grill. The cheese will run down through the sour kraut and be extra delicious.
