Reuben Sandwiches

 Servings:  4 sandwiches

One of hubby's favorite sandwiches is the Reuben.  If it's on the lunch menu, he orders it.  I must confess that this is the first time I have made Reuben sandwiches but it won't be the last!  Growing up in a smallish Southern town, this just wasn't on the menu "back then".  We didn't know what we were missing!  I used a panini press and my Reubens turned out perfectly and hubby is still smiling!  
 

INGREDIENTS:

2 tablespoons butter 8 slices rye bread 8 slices deli sliced corned beef

8 slices Swiss cheese 1 cup sauerkraut, drained 1/2 cup Thousand Island dressing

DIRECTIONS:

1.	Preheat a large skillet or griddle on medium heat (or use a panini press).
2.	Lightly butter one side of bread slices. Spread non-buttered sides with Thousand Island dressing. On 4 bread slices, layer 1 slice Swiss cheese, 2 slices corned beef, 1/4 cup drained sauerkraut and second slice of Swiss cheese. Top with remaining bread slices, buttered sides out.
3.	Grill sandwiches until both sides are golden brown, about 15 minutes per side. Serve hot.
