I think that these Reuben sandwiches were delicious but I did make a little switch-up. I will give the original recipe and then tell where I adjusted. I also have a great tip for leftovers.
Dressing: 1/4 cup canola mayo (I used Hellman's light mayo)
1 TBSP chili sauce
2 tsp finely minced dill pickle (I used dill relish)
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp grated onion
Sandwiches:
8 (3/4-ounce) slices rye bread
3 ounces Swiss cheese, shaved (about 3/4 cup) (I bought a 6 oz. block at Whole Foods and cut it in half and then that half into quarters to make 3 oz. chunks. Then I grated each chunk individually and added it as I went).
4 ounces lower-sodium corned beef (I got this at the Whole Foods deli. They are used to picky people or those asking for 4 oz. of meat and didn't look at me sideways. They didn't have low sodium though.)
1 cup organic sauerkraut, drained well
1. Preheat broiler to high.
2. To prepare dressing, combine first five ingredients in a small bowl, stirring well.
3. To prepare sandwiches, place bread in slices in a single layer on a heavy baking sheet. Broil bread 1 1/2 minutes or until toasted. Turn bread over; broil for 1 minute or until lightly toasted. Remove 4 slices. Divide cheese evenly among 4 slices, sprinkling it over lightly toasted sides. Broil 1 minute or until cheese melts. Spread about 1 1/2 TBSP dressing over the cheese-coated side of each bread slice; top each serving with 1 oz. corned beef. 1/4 cup sauerkraut, and remaining bread slices. Serve immediately.

For lower calories or vegetarians, used tomato slices in place of corned beef. That's what I did for lunch today with the leftovers!
I served this with a altered version of the Kale and White Bean soup from a previous post.
I used pinto beans and one can each of vegetable broth and chicken broth since I only had one can of the vegetable broth.
Welcome to My Kitchen
This is the place that I love to be. I like to be creative and cooking is what is doing it for me these days. It's kind of a necessity and it makes me feel accomplished. I like knowing what we are eating and where it comes from. I go out of my way to make sure this happens.
I like that I don't buy several household staples from a grocery store. I enjoy making applesauce, jams and jellies, apple butter, spaghetti sauce, spicy mustard, pickles and anything else I can.
I like getting dirty, getting my hands into things, feeling and experiencing my food from the beginning to the end. I like making things, growing things and bringing those two together to create a healthy meal. I like nourishing others and knowing that I did my best to give them the best.
