If you're one of those folks who love Reuben sandwiches but don't care for corned beef, this recipe is for you! I serve these as a light supper with french fries and a green salad. - Bernice Muillenburg, Oregon Ingredients:
1 cup soft bread crumbs |
2/3 cup thousand island salad dressing, divided |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon pepper |
1-1/2 pounds ground beef |
8 slices rye bread |
1 can (14 ounces) sauerkraut, rinsed and drained |
4 slices swiss cheese |
butter |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine bread crumbs, 1/3 cup dressing, salt and pepper. Crumble beef over mixture and mix well. Shape into four oval patties, about 1/2 in. thick.
2. Broil 4 in. from the heat or pan-fry for 4-6 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 160° and juices run clear.
3. Place each on a slice of bread. Top with sauerkraut, cheese and remaining dressing and bread.
4. In a large skillet, melt 2-3 tablespoons butter. Toast sandwiches until lightly browned on both sides, adding butter if necessary. Yield: 4 servings.
