Heya, fellow sandwich lovers! Today, I want to share with you one of my favorite ways to use up leftover corned beef and sauerkraut: making a grilled reuben sandwich. This is a classic deli sandwich that originated in New York City, but you can easily make it at home with a few simple ingredients and a skillet. Trust me, you and your family will love it!
A grilled reuben sandwich consists of marbled rye bread, Swiss cheese, corned beef, sauerkraut, and Russian dressing. The bread is grilled until crisp and golden, while the cheese melts and the filling gets warm and juicy. The result is a hearty and satisfying sandwich that has a perfect balance of flavors and textures.
When I’m feeling like making a really quick and easy reuben, I use everything store bought. I really like the Boar’s Head sliced corned beef, Steinfeld’s Home Style Sauerkraut, and Ken’s Steak House Russian Dressing. – No, I’m not sponsored, just a legit recommendation of the ingredients I love!
That’s it! You have just made a delicious grilled reuben sandwich at home. It’s so easy and fun, you’ll want to make it again and again. I hope you give it a try and let me know what you think. Happy sandwich making!
