This meal is my ultimate indulgence, so I have to let you in on it.

Corned beef Reuben sandwiches are the ultimate comfort food, combining succulent corned beef with tangy sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, and creamy Thousand Island dressing, all nestled between slices of crisp rye bread. This classic deli staple originated in New York City but has become a favorite across the country, especially here in the Midwest where hearty meals are a must! It’s perfect for a lunch treat or an easy weeknight dinner. Plus, it’s a great way to use up any leftover corned beef you might have from a Sunday roast.
Reubens pair wonderfully with a handful of crunchy chips or a dill pickle on the side. For something a bit heartier, serve them with a bowl of steaming tomato soup or a crisp green salad. If you’re hosting a get-together, consider putting out a platter of assorted pickles and olives to complement the flavors of the sandwich. And don’t forget a cold, refreshing drink, like iced tea or a classic cola.
