Reuben Sandwiches

My mom and I threw these together tonight and they were A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! Oh my gosh, the best thing I have eaten all week. If you like pastrami, and actually even if you don't, you should try them! So good. Tasted very similar to Chompie's Reuben!

Measurements don't need to be exact.

Ingredients:
  • 8 slices marble rye bread (I used fresh bread from the bakery section)
  • Butter for spreading
  • 1/4 cup thousand island dressing (can also use spicy mustard if you prefer, as did my picky husband)
  • 3/4 pound thinly sliced deli pastrami (Boar's head if available)
  • 4 slices swiss cheese ( also used Boar's head)
  • 1 cup sauerkraut
Instructions:

Heat pastrami in a non-stick skillet on medium heat for approximately 5 minutes until warmed through and sizzling, remove from heat and place in a bowl, cover to keep warm.

In the same skillet heat sauerkraut until warmed through, remove from heat.

Spread each slice of bread with a thin layer if thousand island dressing. Place a pile of pastrami on 1 slice of bread then top with sauerkraut, swiss cheese, and second slice of bread. Thinly spread butter on the outside of each sandwich.

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Grill until each side is golden browned and the cheese is melted. Cut in half and enjoy!

My mom made homemade french fries with these. Not the healthiest dinner, but we have to have a little fun sometimes! You would have thought Ben was in heaven =)
