Mom’s Recipe – Reuben or Rachel Sandwich

*One of Mary Myrick’s best recipes*

Ingredients:

  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 Tbs. chili sauce*
  • 1/2 lb. Swiss cheese, sliced
  • 1/2 lb. corned beef, sliced
  • 12 slices rye bread, buttered
  • 1-1/2 cups sauerkraut, drained

*The chili sauce called for is the bottled kind found with ketchup and other condiments at the grocery store. I have substituted ketchup and a dash of chili powder.

Mix together the mayonnaise and chili sauce. Spread onto six slices of the rye bread. Arrange cheese, corned beef and drained sauerkraut on the bread slices and top with the remaining slices of bread. Serve as is, or for variety, grill as you would grilled cheese.

For the Rachel Sandwich: Substitute 1 -1/2 cup coleslaw for the sauerkraut.

Welcome to my online home since 2004. I blog a bit about my life as it happens, my work as I am permitted, and occasional throwback entries. When I'm not writing new posts, I actively curate this blog, improving the wording or adding new media to old posts, and finally finishing old drafts I've left sitting for years. It is not my intention to be a source of news or content. I don’t have anything to sell, and I’m not trying to get likes/shares/follows. This site is an autobiographical effort - imperfections and all. My life, remembered in my words, my way.

When known, I include credit for photos in the captions. Contact me for photo credit or removal. *Side note: If you make one of my Mother's recipes, I'd be happy to post a photo of the finished product in the corresponding post, and give you full photo credit.
