15 minThe Reuben gets a SPAM makeover, and honestly, it works.
Sliced SPAM stands in for corned beef between slices of rye bread, piled high with tangy sauerkraut mixed with shredded Swiss cheese and Thousand Island dressing.
Butter the outside of the bread and grill it on a hot skillet until both sides are golden and crunchy and the Swiss is melting into the sauerkraut.
Fifteen minutes from start to finish. That’s faster than waiting in line at the deli.
Kitchen Tips
- Drain the sauerkraut really well and squeeze out the excess liquid. Soggy bread ruins a good Reuben.
- Grill over medium heat so the cheese has time to fully melt before the bread gets too dark.
- Try Russian dressing instead of Thousand Island for a slightly tangier, spicier kick.
Ingredients
Directions
In small bowl, combine sauerkraut, cheese, and dressing.
Spread each bread slice on one side with butter.
Spread half of sauerkraut mixture on unbuttered side of 4 bread slices; top each with 2 slices SPAM.
Cover with remaining sauerkraut mixture. Top with remaining bread slices, buttered-side up. In skillet or griddle over medium heat, grill sandwiches until cheese melts and both sides are golden brown.
