Rapid Reuben

~ Rapid Reuben from A Man, A Can, A Microwave

Well this recipe made me very skeptical at first because when I opened the corned beef it smelled and looked like canned dog food.  I decided we would at least give it a try though because I told Jennifer that I wanted to try everything in the cookbooks that we have.  So we gave it a shot.  For taste I would give it a 9/10 and it re-heats at about a 9/10 even after three or four days of refrigerator time.  I would also have to give it a 9/10 in terms of preparation.  I took one sandwich to my friend and co-worker Mikky and she stated that she also liked it.  She had it for breakfast or dinner depending on how you look at the time considering it was after a night shift at work.  I highly recommend giving this a try if you like Reuben sandwiches and you are strapped for time.  It is quick, simple, and good.

Ingredients:  12 oz. can corned beef (cut top to bottom into 6 slices), 1/2 14 ounce can sauerkraut (well-drained), 1/2 cup Thousand Island Salad Dressing, 12 slices of Rye bread (toasted), 1/2 8 ounce package of sliced Swiss cheese.

Recipe:  Place the corned beef slices in a single layer in a 2 quart microwave safe dish.  Top with the sauerkraut and cheese.  Cover tightly with plastic wrap and nuke for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the cheese melts.  Spread the dressing on the toast and use a spatula to lift the hot corned beef slices onto 6 of the toast slices.  Top with the other pieces of toast and chow down.

Enjoy!!
