Corned Beef and Sauerkraut Reubens
30 min · 4 sandwiches
Ingredients
□ 12 oz thinly sliced corned beef
□ 8 slices rye bread
□ 8 slices Swiss cheese
□ 1 1/2 cups sauerkraut
□ 4 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
□
□ 4 dill pickle spears
□ 4 oz potato chips
Directions
1. Warm skillet over medium. Drain and press sauerkraut, then blot until no brine drips.
2. Use Russian dressing or Thousand Island instead; spread inside rye, layer Swiss, corned beef, and dry kraut, then butter outsides.
3. Griddle in batches over medium heat, flipping when golden; cover briefly after flipping to melt cheese without darkening rye.
4. Rest 2 minutes, cut diagonally, and serve hot with a pickle spear and potato chips.
Cook’s note: Press the kraut dry and keep the skillet moderate so the rye stays crisp while the cheese melts.
