1
Prepare the Ingredients
Gather all the ingredients: Wisconsin Swiss cheese, local sauerkraut, 1,000 Island dressing, pastrami, seeded rye bread, and kosher pickles.

2
Assemble the Reuben
On one slice of seeded rye bread, spread 1 tablespoon of 1,000 Island dressing evenly.
3
Layer the Ingredients
Add 3 slices of pastrami on top of the dressing, followed by 1 cup of local sauerkraut, and 2 slices of Wisconsin Swiss cheese.
4
Top the Sandwich
Place the second slice of seeded rye bread on top to complete the sandwich.

5
Grill the Sandwich
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of butter if desired. Place the assembled sandwich in the skillet and grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

6
Serve the Reuben
Remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it sit for a minute. Cut it in half and serve with whole kosher pickles on the side.
