Rueben sandwiches

This is a sorta long story for a great meal.

Last Sunday our friends Butch and Janie and Mimi had a little get together that included a guy named Smitty. Smitty makes all kinds of meat stuff i.e. barbeque ribs, Italian sausage, etc., etc. Well it turns out he also puts out corned beef. Butch and Janie and Mimi made corned beef and cabbage just like back in Jersey that my mom made for us on every 2nd or 3rd Sunday. It was good, no,,, great!. Well it seems there was some leftover corned beef, cabbage and potatoes. Gammy is up in Texas hugging our new little grandbaby, Payton Grace Kelly. Butch and Janie took pity on me and Stella and had us over for dinner. Janie did great!! She made Rueben sandwiches. Rye bread with slices of corned beef, swiss cheese, sauerkraut and mustard in a lightly greased skillet (med heat) with a dish on top for a little squeeze action. A few minutes on each side and “BAM” great ruebens. She fried up some of the leftover potatoes with a little bit of chopped onions as a side dish and it was fantastic!!

If you don’t have leftover corned beef and potatoes you can go to a deli or the deli section at the super market and get some sliced corn beef, some swiss cheese. Then some canned sauerkraut and some frozen French fries or some potatoe salad.

SERVE IT UP!! You might be as good as Janie?!
