As jB points out, a "pastrami Reuben" is usually called a "Rachel" (although in Baltimore, a "Rachel" is more likely to be made with coleslaw rather than sauerkraut). Either way, we find it easier to spread margarine or butter on the top of the assembled sandwich, then melt butter/margarine in the pan and grill the un-buttered side first, then turn and grill the other side.

This recipe was fantastic. I made my first Reuben tonight and it turned out fantastic. I didn't change a think from the recipe. So easy to make and so delicious.

Delicious sandwich! I had to use American cheese because I was out of Swiss, and it was still tasty. Even my pickiest eater in the household ate it! I like Granny Loohoo's tip about heating the meat and the sauerkraut separately. You definitely need a griddle instead of a pan, because these sanwiches require two hands to flip and to eat!

This is a great basic Reuben (pastrami better then corned beef). Keep it simple. Don't forget a good hairy mustard.

Very good recipe. I made these for a group and the true "Reuben" lovers just loved these. I don't eat red meat so I made mine with sliced Boar's head turkey from the deli and Yum!

I made my own rye bread which made it turn out fantastic. I only gave 4 stars because I put the sauerkraut in a pan and browned it a bit and then put the sandwich together. It was the best.
