Reuben In a Can

This is a really odd concoction that I came up with in 2007, if you are in a pinch and cant afford decent corned beef or cant make one, then use corned beef in a can.

Ingredients:

• 1 can corned beef in the can
• 1 can sauerkraut
• thousand island dressing or miracle whip
• rye or some other hard or whole grain bread
• swiss cheese

Preparation:

Mix corned beef sauerkraut and dressing in a gallon ziplock bag. it will start to look a salmon color, but will still tastes good.

Butter opposite sides of your bread.

Place one slice of swiss per slice bread.

Add the mix and either broil in oven or pan fry.....

enjoy!!

Reuben Brad Style*

I have been making Reubens for a very long time, since high school I think, I do know that is the first place I remember eating one. If you have never eaten one, I suggest that you at least try it once.

Ingredients:

• 1 Corned Beef Roast, cooked and sliced about 1/8 inch thick
• Sauerkraut, prepared or from a can
• Swiss cheese (I prefer baby Swiss)
• Rye Bread
• Thousand Island dressing (Miracle Whip if you don't like Thousand Island)
• Butter or Margarine

Preparation:

1. Butter one side of two slices of bread and then stack it so that the buttered sides are towards each other, pour about 1 TBSP of the dressing on the top slice of bread (unbuttered side) and spread it evenly.

2. Add enough thinly sliced Swiss to cover the bread on top of this.

3. Add on about 3 -4 TBSP of sauerkraut and arrange it evenly so that it is level and uniform across the sandwich.

4. To this add enough corned beef to cover your sandwich (the number of slices will vary depending on the size of roast you have cooked), cover with more Swiss cheese.

5. Here is the tricky part, take the bottom piece of bread, and turn it over onto the top of the sandwich so that the buttered side is facing out. Set the pile on a griddle or pan.

6. Toast both sides, and its ready to serve.
