Reuben Sandwich

The Sacramento Bee published a recipe for a Reuben Sandwich which sounded so good we just had to make it.

That day.

“What is a Reuben Sandwich?” you might ask. Corned beef, dark rye bread, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, with Russian dressing – grilled.

According to the Wikipedia our national love affair with Reuben sandwiches has been going on since the 1920s, though the origin is disputed.
