Really the amounts are only a guideline, you may use as much as desired, my family loves them piled high, amounts are for one sandwich --- if desired you could toast 2 slices of bread and make it into a sandwich, use the largest slice of pumpernickle for this! --- see my recipe#188009

Time 20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon chili sauce or 1 tablespoon ketchup
1 tablespoon green onion, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
6 slices rye bread
1 lb corned beef, thinly sliced
1 1/2 cups sauerkraut, well drained
6 slices swiss cheese

Steps:

  • DRESSING: In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, chili sauce, onion and Worcestershire until well blended.
  • SANDWICH: Spread dressing on one side of each bread slice.
  • Cover with layers of corned beef; top each sandwich with about 1/4 cup sauerkraut and 1 slice of Swiss cheese.
  • Arrange on foil-lined baking sheet and bake in 375 F oven for about 5 minutes or until cheese begins to melt and sandwich is warm.
  • To lightly brown the cheese, place the sandwiches briefly under a preheated broiler, watching carefully to avoid burning cheese.

Tips:

  • To make the perfect Reuben sandwich, use high-quality ingredients. Look for marbled rye bread, thinly sliced corned beef, and tangy sauerkraut.
  • If you don't have a griddle, you can cook the sandwiches in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Don't overcrowd the griddle or skillet. Cook the sandwiches in batches if necessary.
  • Keep an eye on the sandwiches while they're cooking. You don't want them to burn.
  • Once the sandwiches are cooked, serve them immediately. They're best enjoyed hot and gooey.
