Reuben Sandwich

• Read all about it HERE   I like to order a Reuben or a Patty Melt sandwich from time to time when I'm traveling on business.  I decided to look it up so I could make my own.From the kitchen of: Kim 

INGREDIENTS: 

• 2 slices of rye bread (Pumpernickle works too)  I like the dark rye.

• Thin slices of pastrami

• Swiss Cheese

• Sauerkraut

• Thousand Island or Russian Dressing

• Butter or Margarine

INSTRUCTIONS: 

1. Butter the bottom side of a slice of the bread and place on griddle

2. Place a layer of sauerkraut on the bread

3. Drizzle a little bit of the dressing on the sauerkraut.  Not too much.

4. Place a good portion of pastrami on top of the sauerkraut

   1. I like to heat the pastrami in the microwave so it melts the cheese in the next step

5. Place slices of swiss chesse on top of the pastrami

   1. Don't skimp on the cheese. One thin slice is not enough

6. Top with the other slice of bread and butter the top of the pile

7. When the bottom is toasted, turn over and toast the other side until cheese is well melted

MAKES: A Reuben sandwich for 1....or for 5000 if you have spiritual connections.
