Ingredients

4 slices Rye bread
6 slices corned beef
1 cup sauerkraut
6 slices Swiss or baby Swiss cheese
4 tbsp 1000 Island Dressing
2 tbsp butter

Instructions

Plug the George Foreman grill in. The one I use only has one temp and turns on when I plug it in.
Lay out 4 pieces of Rye bread. Slather one piece from each pair of bread with Thousand Island dressing. Lay 2 slices of cheese on top of the dressed bread.
Lay 3 slices of the corned beef on the cheese. I like to fold it in thirds and evenly distribute it on the sandwich. Add the sauerkraut on top of the meat. Add one more slice of cheese.
Butter the top of the sandwich and place butter side down on the grill or pan. Butter the top of the sandwich facing up. Lift the top of the grill over the sandwiches without pressing down too hard. We don't want the contents spilling out.
Check the sandwich after about two minutes. You'll probably need to leave it in for 2-3 more minutes, checking on it every minute until it's done. Once you can see that the cheese is melted and the top is golden brown and crisly, it's done.
If you are cooking on the stove top, flip the sandwich over after 2 minutes roughly. You'll want to be sure you have the heat on medium so the bread doesn't burn before the middle gets a chance to cook. Cook for another 2 minutes. It's done when the cheese is melted and the top is golden brown.
Enjoy immediately!

Notes

Store leftover Reubens in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Reuben's can easily be reheated either in the microwave, or pop it in a 350 F oven for a few minutes if desired. It's also really delicious as a cold sandwich.
