This was very simple to make. I thought it was good (although it didn't really satisfy my reuben craving), but every one else thought it was great and several asked for the recipe. I used the Pillsbury Thin Pizza Crust...the French Loaf just seemed like too much bread. The recipe is very forgiving and easily modified to different tastes/occasions. Overall, great recipe...THANKS!

OMG...this is an awesome recipe. My supermarket did not have the french bread so I used the pizza dough as someone suggested. My boys don't like reubens so I made the reuben for my husband and me. For my boys I used roast beef, swiss and honey mustard. They loved it! Thanks!

This is absolutely delicious! Very easy to make and will become one of our regulars. I used a Pillsbury refrigerator pizza crust instead of french bread and it turned out great. We will use this as an appetizer as well as lunch with a salad. Thanks so much for sharing!
