Loved this! The only thing different from the way I make mine is I always put the dressing on the bread. But it is so much better this way!

Great recipe! These were very good Ruben sandwiches. Since it was a cold rainy day, I decided to go the extra mile and make some homemade rye bread and Thousand Island dressing too. Your directions for making the sandwich were absolutely perfect! We definitely will be having these again. Thanks for sharing your recipe, Sue.
