Love this sandwich! I made this a couple of years ago while camping and just placed them on the fire grill. They turned out great and everyone loves them. Now we are going camping again and will make them again. Took me awhile to find this recipe again. Glad I found it! The only change I made was that I used sourdough rolls instead.

This method reuined my ruebens, so I had to make a second batch with the skillet method. I was drawn to grilling because I do not have a large enough non-stick skillet to cook 2 sandwiches. I followed the directions to a T, and my bread was, burned, soggy, and stuck to the foil (along with the soggy mess of toppings). This was the only recipe which didn't call for buttering or oiling the bread prior to cooking, so I thought it would be a healthier alternative. From now on I will load the toppings on two slices of buttered rye and cook till golden and melted in a skillet (I'll either get a larger pan, or we'll eat at different times!) The recipe has flawless reviews other than mine, but it really didn't work for me.

We loved these! Very simple, and delicious!

Excellent sandwich when camping or at home on the grill, easy to make and everybody loves them!

I think you will find this much easier if you buy a set of campfire irons. We know them as "Pudgy Pie" irons. Don't go for the lightweight ones - be sure to get the heavy duty variety. Available at camping stores and in many dept store sports sections. They are also great for making pie sanwiches (bread and apple or cherry pie filling; PBJs (bread and peanut butter and jelly; Reeses sandwiches (bread, peanut butter and plain Hersey bars) Or whatever you can dream up. We've even done it with Prego and cheese

I have never liked the rye bread that local eateries use for reubens. The pumpernickel is why I tried this. I bought deli corned and roast beef, turkey and ham(kids are picky). Also used swiss, american, and pepperjack cheeses. I laid everything out on table and let each assemble their own to their liking. I made mine as stated in the recipe. Except we all used ff thousand island. This was excellent!! My fiance had never tried a reuben and fell in love with this. He tried one later at a local eatery and HATED it!! I swear its the rye... yuck. Anyway, we have made these on the grill, campfire, and in the oven. I dont check the time really, just check the food. The thicker ones were still cold in the middle when the kids sandwiches were done. We will definately keep making this one!!
