  1. Didn't have corned beef so I used sliced roast beef instead. I was also out of sauerkraut so I substituted with shredded tri-color coleslaw, along with French dressing and American cheese. I never use rye bread so I put everything on burrito size flour tortillas and heated them in the microwave. Turned out fantastic! Great recipe, will make again.
     
  2. Loaded with corned beef and saurkraut is my kind of Reuben. I do use whole wheat bread instead of rye as a personal preference, and also did not have swiss so substituted mozzarella. I thought the amount of Thousand Island was perfect. Great yummy sandwich!
     
  3. What a great sandwich! We loved these. I brought one to work and chowed down on it. Everyone around me was jealous as they ate their bologna and cheese :) Gotta love my girlfriend for looking up this one to make for us. Thanks for sharing! Mike
     
  4. Yum! For some strange reason I was craving a reuben sandwich and so I decided to try this recipe. I used much less sauerkraft than called for but otherwise made it as directed. I used Recipe #100355 for the dressing and it worked very well. Thanks for posting this! :)
     
  5. I also got my corned beef from the deli section of the store I shop at. Reubens are such wonderful sandwiches. We all love them here.
