Reuben Sandwich

Imagine yourself biting into a delicious, over-stuffed hot sandwich, loaded with corned beef, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and a delicious spread. All of this, sandwiched between perfectly buttery, crispy outside, soft inside, flavorful slices of bread.

The flavors hit your tongue, and your tastebuds revel in the harmonious, tantalizing, and saliva producing, succulent, balance of delicious flavors and heartiness.

You, my friend, are imagining a Reuben. But today, I am not sharing the classic Reuben, rather a contemporary twist, an update of sorts.  A Rueben with a Twist!

Reuben sandwich recipe, corned beef sandwich with a twist

A classic Reuben sandwich is a hot sandwich typically composed of corned beef, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and some kind of Russian dressing, grilled between slices of Rye bread.

It is an American sandwich, and while I read somewhere it is the most commonly served sandwich in hotel restaurants, I would say it is especially popular around St. Patrick’s day when people have leftover corned beef they want to use up.

I love a good sandwich, and in theory, this sandwich sounds awesome to me.

Succulent, flavorful, hearty, toasty, everything a good sandwich should be. It is a classic for a reason. But I have never been a fan of rye bread. What I am a fan of is Martin’s Old-Fashioned Real Butter Bread.

This bread combines the nostalgia of days gone by with the high quality ingredients and taste of the contemporary consumer.

This is why I knew it would be perfect for my Reuben with a Twist.

I wanted a classic and nostalgic flavor combo, with the contemporary, updated twist the Old-Fashioned Real Butter Bread offers.

This bread uses high protein wheat flour, nonfat milk, real cane sugar, and of course, real butter! It is soft, flavorful, and delicious, which is why it is the perfect sandwich bread. Consider substituting the chips with these sweet potato fries, for the win!

When you add even more butter, for a toasty, crunchy, grilled sandwich with oozy, melty cheese, flavorful sauerkraut and hearty corned beef, Reuben with a Twist is a real winner.

Of course, you have to serve this sandwich with a nice dill pickle spear.

And the sauce you use can make or break the sandwich as much as the bread can.

Now, many people use a shortcut and just spoon on some Thousand Island dressing. But despite loving keeping things simple, I can’t do it.

Making your own Russian dressing is simple, and despite being easy, it is also incredibly delicious. So skip the bottled stuff and make your own. You won’t regret it.
