Corned Beef Reuben Sandwiches

My husband had never eaten one of these until he met me.  One of the exotic foods I introduced him to.  Reubens are great and really easy.  By my calculations it was about 400 calories for the sandwich using low fat swiss cheese. 

First cook a corned beef--the best we have found are from Costco or Sams club.  Put it in a crockpot on high with a little water and the seasoning packet for at least 12 hours.  The longer it cooks the more tender and tasty it is.  For some reason we have found we like it better cold.

Corned Beef Reuben Sandwich

Corned beef, previously cooked
Rye bread  (our favorite is orowheat dill rye)
Saurkraut
Swiss Cheese
Thousand Island Dressing

Take a slice of Rye bread and spread with about a Tablespoon of Thousand Island dressing.  Place on baking sheet dressing side up and then layer corned beef, saurkraut and swiss cheese on top.  Repeat for as many sandwiches as you want to make.  Broil in Oven until cheese starts to bubble and bread starts to brown.  Allow to cool slightly and then enjoy!
