REUBEN SANDWICH II

Steps:

• Preheat a large skillet or griddle on medium heat.
• Lightly butter one side of bread slices. Spread non-buttered sides with Thousand Island dressing. On 4 bread slices, layer 1 slice Swiss cheese, 2 slices corned beef, 1/4 cup sauerkraut and second slice of Swiss cheese. Top with remaining bread slices, buttered sides out.
• Grill sandwiches until both sides are golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Serve hot.

MOM'S CLASSIC REUBEN

Steps:

• Spread margarine onto one side of each slice of bread. Set a large skillet over low heat, and lay 6 bread slices in it with the butter side down. If you can't fit 6, just fry in batches of 3.
• Place slices of cheese onto the bread in the skillet and let cook until the cheese starts to melt. Place slices of corned beef and chicken over the cheese, and then sauerkraut. Spread the creamy dressing onto the dry sides of the remaining slices of bread. Place dressing side down onto the sandwiches.
• Increase the heat to medium, and cook until browned on the bottom. Turn sandwiches over, and cook until golden on the other side.

REUBEN SANDWICH

Steps:

• For the sauerkraut: Shred the cabbage and place in an airtight container with the salt. Leave out overnight at room temperature.
• Add water to cover the cabbage and place in the fridge. Let chill overnight. (Sauerkraut keeps well in the fridge in an airtight container for up to a week.)
• For the Russian dressing: Combine the sun-dried tomatoes, pepperoncini, spicy pickles and red onion in a blender until finely chopped. Add the crème fraiche, vinegar, cider, chili powder, black pepper, mustard powder and white pepper and blend until smooth.
• For the sandwich: Lightly mayo one side of each slice of bread, then spread Russian dressing on the other side of one slice and lay the mayo side on griddle. Lay the corned beef and sauerkraut on the griddle for a few seconds to get them nice and hot. Transfer to the slice of bread. Top the sandwich with the Swiss and the other slice of bread, mayo-side facing out. Grill up! (Save the remaining sauerkraut and dressing for another use.)

THE SHAWNEE MARINA REUBEN SANDWICH

Steps:

• Brush the melted butter on all four sides of the bread. In a large pan or skillet, brown two sides of the bread over medium heat and set aside.
• Add 1/2 of the celery salt to the thousand island dressing and taste. If you like more, add the rest. Set aside.
• In the same pan over medium heat, add the olive oil and sautee the pastrami, the corned beef and, the sauerkraut without mixing them with each other. At the end of 3 minutes, put the meat and kraut on a plate and set aside.
• Over low heat, put an unbrowned (buttered) bread side down in the pan. Layer on the corned beef, pastrami, kraut, Alpine Lace cheese (Alpine Lace is a very mild, wide Swiss Cheese -- substitute Baby Swiss if you can't find it at the grocery), and jalapeno cheese. (Since the jalapeno cheese usually comes in small square slices, that's why you need 1 1/2 slices. The Alpine Lace should be roughly the same width of the bread).
• On the remaining slice of bread, on the browned side, spread the horseradish sauce. Drizzle the thousand island dressing directly on the sandwich and place the horseradish side of the bread DOWN as to mix with the dressing.
• As soon as the bottom of the sandwich browns, carefully flip it over and brown the final side.
• When the bottom of the sandwich is browned, plate it up and cut it in half, on the diagonal. Garnish the plate with the gherkins and the orange slices.
