Reuben Slaw Sandwiches Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Make the Russian dressing: In a small bowl, combine all ingredients and mix well.
• Make the sandwiches: Spread one side of each bread slice with 1/2 tablespoon butter. In a large nonstick skillet, arrange 2 slices of bread, buttered side down, over medium-low heat. Spread 2 tablespoons of Russian dressing on each slice of bread, then top each with 1/4 pound corned beef, 1/4 cup sauerkraut and 2 slices cheese. Top each with 1 slice of bread, buttered side up. Cook until golden and crispy underneath, about 5 minutes. Flip the sandwiches and cook, pressing down gently with a spatula, until second side is golden and cheese melts, about 3 minutes more. Transfer sandwiches to plates and wipe out skillet. Repeat with the remaining bread, sauce, corned beef, sauerkraut and cheese. Serve warm.

Steps:

• For the slaw: Put the cabbage in a bowl, sprinkle the vinegar, sugar, celery seeds and salt and pepper to taste over the top and toss well. Let stand, tossing frequently, until the cabbage wilts, about 20 minutes.
• For the sandwiches: In a small bowl, stir together the mayo, ketchup, relish and paprika. Spread the dressing on one side of each slice of bread. Put a slice of cheese on each piece of bread; divide the meat among 4 of the slices. Top each sandwich with some slaw and invert the remaining cheese-covered bread slices onto each sandwich. Spread 1/2 tablespoon of the butter on the top of each sandwich.
• Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Arrange the sandwiches buttered-side up in the skillet and cook until the bottoms are golden, about 4 minutes. Carefully flip the sandwiches and cook until the undersides are golden brown and the cheese is melted, about another 4 minutes. Slice the sandwiches diagonally and serve.
