Are you looking for a camping recipe that’s mouthwatering, easy, and absolutely perfect on cool spring evenings? My family’s current obsession is homemade Reuben sandwiches and we’re featuring this as our camping recipe on our blog today. Learn more below!
The Best Reuben Sandwiches
makes four sandwiches
Ingredients:
- 8 slices marble rye bread
- 12 slices corned beef
- 8 slices Swiss cheese
- 8 oz sauerkraut
- Thousand Island dressing
- 4 Tbs butter, softened
You’ll also need:
- 12” nonstick skillet
- Parchment paper
- Butter knife
- Spatula
Let’s get going!
- First, lay out a sheet of parchment paper. Butter one side of each slice of bread and lay butter side down.
- Next, give a heavy drizzle of Thousand Island dressing to the unbuttered sides of the bread still facing up. Spread evenly.
- On half of the slices of bread, arrange in this order: one slice of cheese, ¼ cup sauerkraut, three slices of corned beef, one slice of cheese. Top with remaining slice of bread, dressing-side-in and butter-side-out.
- Now, it’s time for some patience. Place the sandwiches, two at a time, in a skillet over low-to-medium heat. Any hotter and it will scorch the bread without heating the sandwich all the way through.
- Grilling on low heat allows the bread to crisp to a perfect golden-brown, the cheese to get melty, and the rest of the ingredients to warm perfectly.
- Enjoy!
These delicious Reuben sandwiches are perfect served with a crispy dill pickle spear, and a side dish of potatoes (Au Gratin, chips, or potato salad…you name it) and cole slaw. The sweetness of the Thousand Island dressing is the perfect match to the tanginess of the sauerkraut.
Also, this is the perfect recipe to try out on your RV’s outdoor kitchen. With a pull-out cook top and mini fridge, you can keep the cold ingredients chilled until ready to assemble and never have to run back inside for something you forgot. Our family likes to spend every minute we can outside on beautiful spring evenings, and that includes mealtime too. Make the most of your camping trip with this recipe!
