Reuben Sandwich Ingredients

Method

Reuben Sandwich Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Gather all the ingredients and have them ready for assembly.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Sandwich

    On two slices of rye bread, layer corned beef, Swiss cheese, and sauerkraut. Spread Russian dressing on the other two slices of bread and place them on top to complete the sandwich.

  3. 3

    Grill the Sandwich

    Spread butter on the outer sides of the assembled sandwich. Heat a skillet over medium heat and grill the sandwiches for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove from the skillet, slice in half, and serve warm with additional Russian dressing if desired.
