OPEN-FACED REUBEN

Really the amounts are only a guideline, you may use as much as desired, my family loves them piled high, amounts are for one sandwich --- if desired you could toast 2 slices of bread and make it into a sandwich, use the largest slice of pumpernickle for this! --- see my recipe#188009

I love Reubens and this one is really good! To make a Rachel sandwich, substitute thinly sliced turkey for the corned beef.

Time 20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon chili sauce or 1 tablespoon ketchup
1 tablespoon green onion, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
6 slices rye bread
1 lb corned beef, thinly sliced
1 1/2 cups sauerkraut, well drained
6 slices swiss cheese

Steps:

  • DRESSING: In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, chili sauce, onion and Worcestershire until well blended.
  • SANDWICH: Spread dressing on one side of each bread slice.
  • Cover with layers of corned beef; top each sandwich with about 1/4 cup sauerkraut and 1 slice of Swiss cheese.
  • Arrange on foil-lined baking sheet and bake in 375 F oven for about 5 minutes or until cheese begins to melt and sandwich is warm.
  • To lightly brown the cheese, place the sandwiches briefly under a preheated broiler, watching carefully to avoid burning cheese.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality bread. A sturdy bread, such as rye or sourdough, will hold up well to the sandwich's fillings.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different cheeses. Swiss cheese is the classic choice for a Reuben, but you can also use cheddar, provolone, or even Gruyère.
  • Make sure the sauerkraut is well-drained. Otherwise, the sandwich will be soggy.
  • Cook the corned beef until it is heated through. You can do this in a skillet over medium heat or in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Use a generous amount of Thousand Island dressing. This will help to bind the sandwich together and add flavor.

Conclusion:

The Reuben sandwich is a classic for a reason. It's a delicious and hearty sandwich that is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. With its combination of savory corned beef, melted cheese, tangy sauerkraut, and Thousand Island dressing, the Reuben is a sandwich that is sure to please everyone.
