This is my all time favorite sandwich. I need lots of mustard on mine in addition to the russian dressing. My mom used to make sauerkraut with pork chops, she also did the kraut with the pork ribs in the pressure cooker. Those were my favorite meals. I love sauerkraut on my hot dog with mustard, of course. There must be somethig wrong with people who don’t like saurekraut, I just don’t understand it.

We also had reuben sandwiches today but I make mine open faced with layers of corned beef, sauerkraut, swiss cheese on two slices of pretoasted rye bread and broil them until the cheese melts, then top with my sauce of catsup, mayo, pickle relish and horseradish. I close mine up to eat, but my husband prefers to eat his in smaller pieces and dunks them in his sauce. Each to his own. ERIN GO BRAGH!

The fixins are going on my grocery list! We grew up eating homemade kraut (or crap as my younger sister called it). Christy did your mom or granny ever cook “kraut & pork ribs” on top of the stove? One of my favorite dishes and requested for birthday suppers.

Yum is right. Here’s a twist my grocery deli recently put into my Reuben habit: Spread one of the bread slices with apple butter! Just the right amount of sweet to complement the sauerkraut.

Kraut and wennies, fried potatoes, pinto beans and corn bread. That is my kind of eating. Fry up onions with those potatoes and some squash with them too! That’s some good stuff right there.

Christy, this is by far the best sandwich in the world. We also grew up on kraut & weiners. The first time I made it as a new wife for my hubby, he was horrified that I put Ketchup on it. He thought I had lost my mind. But it was so GOOD> I just thought everyone ate it like that. Surprise. Surprise. Dont know what they are missing. Have a safe trip.

Reuben Sandwich is by far my favorite of all sandwiches. I prefer using pumpernickle bread with pastrami or corned beef. I like to put the cheese on top of the sauerkraut as the cheese melts it helps hold the sauerkraut from coming out of the sandwich. Hadn’t thought about the peppers but that sounds like a good twist I’ll have to try. Mix horseradish sauce with the thousand island dressing for a little extra zip. Schlotzsky’s makes a fantastic Reuben unfortunately I don’t have one close by. Closest is over 100 miles away. So I’ll just have to make my own.
