Baked Reuben Sandwiches

These Baked Reuben Sandwiches are a fantastic twist on the classic deli favorite. They feature tender corned beef, tangy sauerkraut, and melted Swiss cheese, all nestled between savory rye dinner rolls. Baked with a flavorful sauce, these sandwiches are perfect for lunch or dinner.

Ingredients

  • 12 rye dinner rolls (substitute any type if rye is unavailable)
  • ½ pound corned beef, thinly sliced
  • 6 slices Swiss cheese
  • ¾ cup sauerkraut, drained
  • 1 stick butter
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon dried mustard
  • Thousand Island dressing, if desired

Directions

1. Prepare the Oven and Baking Pan

  • Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Prepare Baking Pan: Slice the dinner rolls in half horizontally. Lay the bottom halves in a 9×13 inch baking pan or on a rimmed baking sheet.

2. Assemble the Sandwiches

  • Layer Ingredients: Evenly divide the corned beef and Swiss cheese among the bottom halves of the rolls.
  • Add Sauerkraut: Top each sandwich with 1 tablespoon of drained sauerkraut.

3. Make the Sauce

  • Melt Butter: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium-high heat.
  • Combine Ingredients: Stir in the brown sugar, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and dried mustard. Bring the mixture to a boil, then remove it from the heat.

4. Bake the Sandwiches

  • Add Sauce: Pour the sauce evenly over the assembled sandwiches.
  • Chill (Optional): If time allows, cover the sandwiches with foil and refrigerate them overnight to let the flavors meld. Alternatively, proceed directly to baking.
  • Bake: Uncover and bake the sandwiches in the preheated oven for 20-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden brown.
