My mom has been buying delicious name brand, high end corned beef at the deli with all the fixings and treating us to reuben sandwiches. Aunt Nancy prepared the sandwiches when we visited Mom and they were so amazing that I looked forward to making these at home!
This is what you need to make an excellent Rueben. Sliced corned beef ( we bought Boar's Head brand), Swiss cheese, sauerkraut (drained), Thousand Island dressing and rye bread. Also butter for the outside of the bread to prepare it for stove-top grilling.
When they were golden brown, they were cut in half because these were loaded up with fillings. Extra dressing was available on the side to dip into. Even folks who don't normally like sauerkraut will dig these restaurant quality sandwiches!
