Grilled Mini Reubens
- 1 loaf Good Jewish Rye Bread (whole Loaf)
- 1 pound Thinly Sliced Corned Beef
- Butter-flavored Pam Cooking Spray
- 1- 1/2 cup Sauerkraut Drained
- 12 slices Swiss Cheese
- Butter
- 1/2 cups Mayonnaise
- 3 Tablespoons Ketchup
- 1/2 Tablespoons Minced White Onion
- 1/2 Tablespoons Sweet Pickle Relish
- 1/2 Tablespoons Dill Pickle Relish
- 1/4 teaspoons Sugar
- Heat oven to 400 degrees F and throw in whole rye bread.
- Bake until crusty, around 10 minutes.
- Remove and cool so it is easy to slice for sandwiches.
- At the same time, steam corned beef quickly in steamer.
- Mix all ingredients for the thousand island dressing and set aside.
- Spray a little butter-flavored Pam on the griddle and grill the drained sauerkraut, turning until it is very slightly browned.
- Not only does this dry the kraut out a bit (not too much) but it also subtly intensifies the flavor!
- After trying this, you wont want to put raw sauerkraut on your Reubens again!
- Slice 12 slices of rye bread.
- Using a large cookie cutter, cut 12 rounds out of the of the slices.
- Do the same with the Swiss cheese.
- Lay out bread and spread with thousand Island dressing and lay Swiss cheese on all 12 pieces of bread.
- Divvy up the corned beef and put on 6 slices of bread.
- Spread a bit of Thousand Island dressing on meat.
- Divvy up the sauerkraut and lay on meatless side of bread.
- Close up the sandwiches.
- On the top slice of each Reuben, spread butter.
- Flip the sandwich onto the griddle, taking care not to mess up the Reuben, and then butter the bread facing you.
- Grill on the cleaned griddle for 6 or 7 minutes and turn.
- Put something heavy on each sandwich and cook another 4-5 minutes until the cheese has melted and the sandwich is a nice color.
- Turn Reubens out onto a plate and serve.
