My Favorite Reuben Sandwich
There is nothing like a great Reuben Sandwich. Melted swiss cheese paired, tangy sauerkraut, and corned beef in between layers of rye bread!

- Spread remaining dressing on the second piece of bread and place on top of sandwich, butter side out.

Notes
- Corned Beef: Use leftover cooked corned beef or deli corned beef. Ask the deli to slice the corned beef extra thick if possible.
- If you are loading up your sandwich with lots of meat or using thick corned beef, I find it best to heat the corned beef first. This ensures a hot sandwich without the bread burning.
- For a nice crispy exterior, use mayonnaise in place of the butter on the outside of the bread.
