I so do like a good rueben. I have never heard of using sour cream in one though. This looks interesting.


This is my wife's favorite sandwich. She's always glad to see them grilled ... won't go back to a restaurant that doesn't grill 'em.


I'll need to make this for my hubby this weekend for sure, elaine! My thanks and my five.

Nice Recipe Elaine. Thnx For Sharing.


This sandwich is like a comfort food for me! Love your version, the dressing sounds delicious!


Unless my wife goes on a trip I cant have one of these, corned beef is banned in this house, maybe I can swing it with salt beef!!!


A favorite of mine for sure! I love the sound of your dressing for this sandwich. Much better than using the bottled version!
