- 1 tablespoon ancho chili powder
- 6 cornichons, finely dicedPinch chile de arbol or cayenne pepper

- For the red chile russian dressing: Whisk together the mayonnaise, ketchup, horseradish, capers, chili powder, cornichons and chile de arbol in a bowl and season with salt and black pepper.
- Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- For the reuben sandwiches: Lay out 20 slices of the bread on a clean work surface, and spread each with a few teaspoons of the Red Chile Russian Dressing.
- Top each bread slice with 2 slices of the cheese and a dollop of the sauerkraut, followed by a few folded slices of the corned beef.
- Top each sandwich with another slice of bread.
- Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Working in batches of 5, place the sandwiches in the pan and press down with a metal spatula.
- Cook until both sides are golden brown.
- Add more butter, if needed, before cooking the next batch.
- Keep the sandwiches warm in the oven on a large baking sheet.
