Second-Chance Reubens

• 8 slices rye bread
• 4 tablespoons Thousand Island salad dressing, divided
• 4 slices cooked meat loaf, warmed
• 1 cup sauerkraut, rinsed and well drained
• 4 slices Swiss cheese
• 2 tablespoons butter, softened

1. Spread four bread slices with half of salad dressing. Layer each with meat loaf, sauerkraut and cheese. Spread remaining bread with remaining salad dressing; place over cheese. Butter outsides of sandwiches.
2. In a large skillet over medium heat, toast sandwiches for 2-3 minutes on each side or until bread is lightly browned and cheese is melted.Italian Patty Melts: Substitute Italian bread for rye. For each sandwich, layer a bread slice with 1 slice provolone cheese, 1 tablespoon each pizza sauce and giardiniera, 1 slice meat loaf and a bread slice. Butter outsides of sandwiches; cook as directed.
