The Reuben Sandwich with Homemade 1000 Island Dressing

Another one of our top ten favorite sandwiches is the a

Grilled Reuben.

 I never buy bottled 1000 Island dressing because 

it's so easy to mix up a batch at home 

with ingredients I already have in the house.

 I dont even measure anymore.
 Just dump in a jar and stir it until

  it looks like 1000 Island dressing.

I don't use it on salads. I like it on sandwiches. 

It's great for a chicken or turkey sandwich. 

It's also good on a BLT, another favorite sandwich.

To Make A Reuben 

you'll need: rye bread, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut,

 pastrami or corned beef, butter or margarine and

1000 Island dressing

~~~~~~~~  

 Butter one side of the rye bread slices and 

put them buttered sides together while you
assemble the sandwiches.

 Spread the other side with dressing and
 pile on the corned beef or pastrami

 Top with sauerkraut. Squeeze out any extra juice.

Lay on Swiss cheese slices.

Add more dressing if desired.
 Put it on your preheated grill, or fry pan.

 Top with the remaining buttered rye bread slices, butter side up.

 Close the grill and grill for about 5 minutes.
If using a fry pan you'll need to flip the sandwich. 

Remove from the pan when the sandwich is grilled to

 a golden brown perfection and the cheese is melted.

Enjoy!
