Need some dinner inspiration? Last night’s dinner was delish, and it was incredibly inexpensive.
We had home made rueben sandwiches…..yum! I forgot to take a photo, which is irritating. Sorry about that!
To make 4 Reuben’s I used:
8 pieces of bread (bought on sale for $1 a loaf)
Butter (free with coupons a while ago)
Muenster deli cheese ($0.50 a pack some time ago; only used 1/3 of the pack). Swiss also works well.
3 packs of Budding corned beef packaged meat (0.69 at Kroger & we had $0.55/2 coupons which doubled) You can print your own $0.55 coupon here.
We used corned beef...not turkey!
1 can sauerkraut (about $0.69)
1 bottle Wishbone Thousand Island dressing (free after $1 coupon at Kroger that doubled). We only used about 1/4 of the bottle.
We use our electric griddle and butter 1 side of the bread. Grill the bread, butter side down, until it is nice and toasty. Remove the bread from the griddle & let them cool. Heat sauerkraut in a small pan on the stove and then drain. Once the bread cools, butter the ungrilled side and place 4 pieces on the griddle (again, butter side down). Stack 1 1/2 pieces of cheese, an ample amount of the meat and 1/4 the can of sauerkraut on each piece. Top with the remaining 4 slices of bread (butter side up). Grill until they become toasty brown. Dip in Thousand Island dressing. Yum-o!
I pretty much do the same thing, but I like to add a little hot (spicy) mustard along with the Thousand Island. We also like to serve it on rye bread. You’re right. Yum-o!
Sounds great………..will have to try them.
