This easy Reuben Sandwich recipe is made from crispy rye bread, tender corned beef, tangy sauerkraut, melty Swiss cheese, and thousand island dressing.

Ingredients

4 Tbsp butter (room temperature) ($0.50)

8 slices rye bread ($2.85)

½ cup Thousand Island dressing* ($0.57)

1 cup sauerkraut (drained well) ($0.85)

2 ½ cups cooked corned beef (about 12 oz.)** ($5.05)

8 Swiss cheese slices*** ($2.29)

Instructions

1 Gather all of your ingredients. Starting with two slices of bread, spread the softened butter on one side of each slice of bread.

2 Flip the butter side over and begin layering the sandwich. I like to start with spreading 1-2 Tbsp of thousand island dressing on one slice of bread (depending on how much dressing you prefer). Then add ¼ cup of sauerkraut on the other slice of bread.

3 Now add 3 oz. of cooked corned beef on top of the sauerkraut. I kept mine in thick slices but you can chop your beef up if you want. Then add 2 slices of swiss cheese on top of the corned beef.

4 Place the second slice of bread on top of the cheese to form a sandwich. Repeat the steps for the remaining 3 sandwiches.

5 Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1-2 sandwiches to the skillet (depending on how many will fit). Toast the sandwiches for 2-3 minutes on each side until the bread is golden brown. Serve hot and enjoy!
