Easy Reuben Sandwich recipe. Made with only 6 ingredients, this simple lunch idea is a perfect homemade meal.
Is it weird that the only reason I made this recipe is because I wanted John to spend less money on take out food?
We have this deli by our house where John will buy a Reuben Sandwich almost every time he walks by it.
Once I looked up how easy it is to make a Reuben, of course I tried making it at home!
Seriously it is so easy to make. All you need is:
- butter
- rye bread
- thousand island dressing
- swiss cheese
- sliced corned beef
- sauerkraut
That’s it!!
It’s often hard for me to think of something to make for lunch. A lot of the times I will just grab a block of cheese and call it a day. That, or make my favourite Kimchi Grilled Cheese sandwiches.
But since I don’t live in Toronto with my Korean landlord who used to give us freshly made kimchi, I think I will stick to this Reuben.
Now that John won’t be buying as many Reubens, how will we spend all this extra cash? Better quality bread? Some good wine?
It’s really hard to splurge on anything these days with lockdowns still in effect. But I’m sure we can think of something!

Reuben Sandwich
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp salted butter
- 4 slices rye bread
- 4 Tbsp thousand island dressing
- 8 slices swiss cheese
- 8-10 slices corned beef
- 1/2 cup sauerkraut
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet. Spread 1/2 Tbsp butter on one side of each slice of bread. Place 2 pieces of bread butter side down on the skillet.
- Divide the dressing evenly on both pieces of bread. Top each slice of bread with 2 slices of swiss cheese. Add 4-5 slices of corned beef on top of each piece of bread. Divide the sauerkraut evenly between both slices then top with the remaining cheese. Place the last piece of bread butter side out on top.
- Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for around 2-3 minutes, or until bread is golden. Flip and cook the other side for around 2-3 minutes.
