Today, I’m featuring one of my husband’s favorite sandwiches, Reuben Sandwich, to help promote the contest.  A Reuben Sandwich is a hot sandwich made with corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, and 1,000 Island Dressing.  It’s all put together on Rye bread….don’t substitute, it’s key to making the sandwich “authentic”.    

Orowea®t Rye is a great option not only for taste but for the nutritional value.  The Russian Rye has no trans fats, cholesterol, or high fructose corn syrup and it’s only eighty calories per slice.

Here’s the Recipe: 

• Deli sliced corned beef
• Sauerkraut – drained 
• Oroweat® Russian Rye bread
• Swiss cheese
• 1000 Island dressing
• Butter

Heat a skillet or griddle (cast iron works best) and butter one side of each slice of bread

Before putting bread on skillet, heat corned beef just until warm

Remove from skillet and place each slice of bread, butter side down, on skillet

On one slice of bread place cheese and corned beef (probably best to place cheese on bread then meat on top)

On second slice of bread, spread with 1,000 Island Dressing and top with drained sauerkraut 

Allow bread to toast and cheese to melt

Place 1st slice on top of 2nd and continue to grill and turn sandwich until toasted and crispy, but not too dark
