Mav's Reuben
Recipe inspired by subscriber, Aiden!
Ingredients:
- Rye bread, two slices
- Corned beef (prepackaged or homemade) - approx. three ounces
- Swiss cheese, two slices
- Sauerkraut (pickled cabbage) - any jarred brand you like! - approx. three tablespoons
- Butter or olive oil
- Thousand Island Dressing : bottled or mixed together. (Equal parts mayo, ketchup, and relish)
“Breaking out the cast iron, because I don’t want to mess this sandwich up.”
If you have one, great! If not, a non-stick pan will do just fine.
1. Toast two slices of rye bread in a hot cast iron skillet, with olive oil or butter.
2. Pile slices of corned beef and sauerkraut onto one slice of bread, and add slices of swiss cheese! (Trick to melt the cheese? Add a lid!)
3. Toast it golden brown. (Less than I did)
4. Spoon dressing into the sandwich once cooked.
5. “Cut it diagonally - it just feels better.”
“My dad was a Reuben guy - that sandwich is so good. Reubens are weird, they have everything on them is kind of sour - everything together, it all compliments itself. I’m telling you, if you like a Reuben sandwich, you’ll probably like a sauerkraut and sausage pizza. It’s a solid 8 and a half!” - Mav

Hey Mav I have been watching your YouTube channel really sense you started the whole truck camping deal. I did not know if you would ever consider coming as far as the east coast. But if you ever did I do a lot of shark fishing in the summer and I hunt a lot in the winter. So if you are ever around GA let me know. I live in south GA! I know you really like the ice fishing but if you would like to go fishing in the ocean I go all the time in the summer!
