The Ultimate Reuben Sandwich Recipe will rock everyone of your tastebuds! Who doesn’t love a good Reuben? Oh my. Corned beef stacked up sky high on grilled to perfection slices of rye bread with all the traditional toppings AND you’ll be in-love too!
The Ultimate Reuben Sandwich is as tasty as it looks!
What a great sandwich to try out when you need a break from the normal PB&J and turkey sandwiches! 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!!
