Cuban Reuben

[heart_this] · Mar 14, 2024 · 8 Comments

Cuban Reuben

The magical combination of the cuban and reuben sandwiches; corned beef, ham, pickles, mustard, sauerkraut, and russian dressing in a grilled cheese sandwich with plenty of melted swiss cheese!

This sandwich combines all of the best things for two great sandwiches, the reuben with it’s corned beef, swiss, sauerkraut, and russian dressing, and the cuban sandwich with it’s roast pork, ham, swiss, pickles and mustard. This sandwich replaces the roast pork from the cuban with corned beef from the cuban and jams all the rest into the sandwich!

The magical combination of the cuban and reuben sandwiches; corned beef, ham, pickles, mustard, sauerkraut, and russian dressing in a grilled cheese sandwich with plenty of melted swiss cheese!

ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon salted butter, room temperature

    Surely that calorie count is incorrect!

    I like this combination, especially since I haven’t had either a reuben or classic Cuban sandwich in quite a while, and thank you, this looks like the best of both!
