Okay, well, technically I didn’t cook this one up all by myself. Reuben sandwiches for dinner was a family effort last night. Considering that the Reuben is Papa’s single, all-time favorite sandwich, it’s funny we’ve never made them before. It was pretty simple, but could be made even easier if you don’t make your own dressing from scratch, like we did.

REUBENS

For each sandwich…

2 slices of white rye bread, sauerkraut, thinly sliced corned beef, one slice Swiss cheese, about 2 tbsp. Thousand Island Dressing (we made ours from the reicpe in the Joy of Cooking).

Butter the bread on the outside of the slices and arrange the incredients on the inside. Cook on a griddle or in a pan like you would a grilled cheese sandwich, until the bread is golden brown.
