Reuben Sandwiches

It’s that time of year again….for corned beef that is! Corned beef is the perfect crock pot meat, because it cooks long and slow (8 hours) and comes out perfect every time. I found a Russian dressing recipe for Reuben sandwiches on the Closet Cooking food blog, and yesterday I crocked the corned beef, and then we had the most delicious Reuben sandwiches for dinner. -s’s only complaint is that I didn’t put enough corned beef on his sandwich!

Corned Beef Ingredients:

  • 1 flat cut corned beef with spice packet that comes with it (point cut is fattier)
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 c. matchstick carrots or chopped carrots
  • 4 garlic cloves smashed with back of knife
  • water

Directions:

  1. Add corned beef and spices to crock pot; top with onion, carrots, garlic, and enough water to cover the meat.
  2. Cook on low for 8 hours.

Reuben Sandwiches:

  • Rye Bread
  • Russian Dressing (See below)
  • Sauerkraut
  • Sliced Corned Beef
  • Swiss Cheese, sliced
  • Butter

Directions:

  1. Heat skillet on medium high heat. Assemble sandwich: take rye bread, spread dressing, add sauerkraut, then the corned beef, then the swiss cheese. Place another slice of bread on top. Butter the top of the bread, and place the sandwich butter side down in the hot skillet. Butter the other side of the bread, and when the bottom is golden brown, flip the sandwich and cook until golden brown and cheese melts.

Russian Dressing:

  • 1/4 c. mayo
  • 4 tsp. ketchup
  • 2 tsp. prepared horseradish
  • 1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
  • Combine all ingredients
