The Mighty Reuben
The Mighty Reuben is a classic! Perfect for a casual dinner or a hearty lunch. To make this a Turkey Reuben, simply substitute the Corned Beef for your favorite sliced Turkey.
Ingredients
Recipe is written for 1 serving/person.
- 2 slices Rye Bread each slice buttered on one side only
- 4 - 6 slices Corned Beef from your local deli
- 1 - 2 slices Swiss Cheese
- 2 - 3 Tbls Sauerkraut drained (I use Silver Floss brand)
- 1 Tbls Russian Dressing recipe below
- Dill Pickle spears to serve optional
- Dijon Mustard optional
Russian Dressing
- ½ cup Mayonnaise
- 2 - 3 Tbls Ketchup to taste
- 1 - 2 Tbls Pickle Relish to taste
- 1 tsp Worcestershire Sauce
Instructions
For the Russian Dressing:
- In a small bowl, mix together all the ingredients until well blended. Chill.
For the Reuben:
- Turn on Broiler/Grill in oven to preheat.
- In a large oven proof skillet over medium heat on stovetop, place both slices of Rye bread buttered side down. (If skillet handle is not oven proof, you can cover the entire handle with aluminum foil to protect it).
- Top one slice of Rye with 1 slice of Swiss Cheese, Corned Beef, Sauerkraut and Russian Dressing (or Dijon Mustard) and finally another slice of Swiss Cheese.
- Check carefully that the bread is toasted as desired, then slip the entire skillet in the middle of the oven to melt the top layer of cheese if needed.
- Top off with the second slice of bread, cut in half and spear with a crunchy dill pickle spear.
- Serve with potato chips and enjoy!
Notes
You can substitute the Corned Beef for Turkey slices for a Turkey Reuben version. You can also substitute the Russian Dressing for Dijon Mustard.
