This terrifc version of a favorite grilled
deli sandwich, the Reuben, provides a tasty recipe for a deliciously
pungent, horseradish dressing that pairs perfectly with the corned
beef, Swiss cheese and sauerkraut on rye bread.
Classic Reuben Sandwich
- 1/2 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons chili sauce
1 teaspoon prepared horseradish
1/4 teaspoon salt
- 8 slices rye bread
- 1/2 cup well-drained sauerkraut*
8 slices cooked corned beef
8 slices Swiss cheese
- Butter, softened for spreading
- For the dressing combine sour cream, chili
sauce, horseradish and salt; blend until smooth.
- Spread dressing on each slice of bread.
Spread about 2 tablespoons of sauerkraut onto 4 slices of bread.
Top each with 2 slices corned beef, 2 slices swiss cheese and
cover with the remaining 4 slices bread. Butter both sides of
each sandwich.
- Heat a griddle or skillet and cook on
both sides until lightly browned and cheese is melted. Serve
immediately.
Makes 4 sandwiches.
*The best tasting, commercially produced
sauerkraut can be found packaged in plastic bags and sold in
the refrigerated section of most supermarkets.
