Classic Reuben Sandwich
Corned beef, perfectly melted Swiss cheese, tangy sauerkraut and the most delicious dressing all piled onto marbled rye bread and warmed to crispy, gooey perfection.
Ingredients
For the Russian Dressing
- 1 Cup mayonnaise
- ¼ Cup ketchup
- 2 Tablespoons minced yellow onion
- 1 Tablespoon chopped dill pickle or cornichon (optional)
- 1 Teaspoon worcestershire sauce
- ½-1 Teaspoon hot sauce to taste
- ½ Teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Reubens
- 4 Slices marbled rye bread
- 8 Slices corned beef (about ½ pound)
- 4 Slices Swiss cheese
- 1 Cup sauerkraut drained
- 2 Tablespoons butter softened
Instructions
- Mix all of the ingredients for the dressing together. Taste and adjust seasoning to your liking. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Spread the softened butter on the outsides of each piece of bread (all the way to the edges!) and the Russian dressing on the insides. Layer 4 slices of corned beef, 2 slices of Swiss cheese and ½ cup of sauerkraut on each sandwich and then close, buttered sides facing outwards.
- Carefully add the sandwiches to a large skillet over medium heat. Cook until the outsides are crispy and the cheese is melted; 2-3 minutes on each side.
- Serve with a pickle. Enjoy!
