Why we love Ultimate Reuben Sandwich Recipe

The reuben sandwich is one of my favorite hot sandwiches only second to the French Dip Sandwich, of course! I figure if I’m gonna make a sandwich then I’d better make AH-mazing. What a great sandwich to try out when you need a break from the normal PB&J and turkey sandwiches!

How to make Ultimate Reuben Sandwich Recipe

• Coat with cooking spray a large skillet and heat pan over medium high heat.
• Press (drained) sauerkraut between paper towels to remove as much liquid as possible.
• Butter outer slices of bread, divide and spread thousand island dressing on the face side of each bread, place 4 slices swiss cheese on each bread, layer with half of pastrami, add sauerkraut to one side of meat.
• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in bottom of pan.
• Place face side down and cook 2 minutes, bring the two halves of sandwiches together, and cook 2 minutes per side until golden brown.
• Serve warm and enjoy!

History of the Reuben Sandwich?

• It is said that Reuben Kulakofsky was the inventor of the Reuben sandwich in Omaha, Nebraska somewhere around 1920 to 1935! Rumor has it that in Omaha, March 14th was proclaimed Reuben Sandwich Day!

• The one thing that is plainly clear is the Reuben sandwich brings together Irish corned beef, Jewish rye, German sauerkraut, Swiss cheese and Russian dressing.

• The other pretty obvious fact about the Reuben is it’s enjoyed all around the world and a longtime favorite of many. I’m a big fan of them myself!!
