This is the BEST Reuben ever! Arby's makes one that comes pretty dang close, though. Don't mess with perfection . . . make it exactly like the recipe.

I've been making this sandwich for years. I also make it with sliced pastrami from the deli (which is much leaner than corned beef with the same flavor). We changed using sauerkraut to using fresh sweet coleslaw and it's one of our favorite sandwich meal.

Sandwiches were VERY tasty. Loved by the whole family and very easy to make. I used a 4 pound Corned Beef and cut off all visible fat before puttin it in the crock. I used light rye bread and reduced fat swiss. Because they are not fried/grilled I think it is a very healthy alternative to classic Reubens.

This is a great recipe!!!! My family LOVED this and have requested it several times since and I only made it 3 weeks ago. It is so simple to make...smells up the house with the Sauerkraut, but now that the weather is cooler I'll just open the windows...That WILL NOT prevent me from making this tasty sandwich. Some of the family used hot mustard instead of Thousand Island..it was great. I served with German potato salad..my father who lives with me is German and he said this was EXCELLENT..the entire meal!!! WOW! I absolutely love this recipe. It's different and seems like you spent all day cooking when actually you spent about 5 minutes or less putting it in the crockpot/slow cooker. German Potato salad takes a while but is a great companion for this tasty dish. Enjoy...I know we did!

Made these last year and with the left over sauerkraut went well with pork chops and mashed potatoes I made the next night. It's ahhh so good!!
