Ultimate Reuben

The Ultimate Reuben is piled high with tender thinly sliced corned beef, amazing homemade sauerkraut, tangy Russian dressing, and gooey melted Swiss cheese. All of this goodness is sandwiched between slices of rye bread that have been buttered and grilled. It doesn't get much better than this! Are you drooling yet?
