Open Faced Reuben
Really the amounts are only a guideline, you may use as much as desired, my family loves them piled high, amounts are for one sandwich --- if desired you could toast 2 slices of bread and make it into a sandwich, use the largest slice of pumpernickle for this! --- see my recipe#188009
Steps
Toast the bread in a toaster until lightly golden brown , then spread butter over one side.
Pile the meat on top of the bread , then the sauerkraut on top of the meat.
Drizzle the dressing generously over the sauerkraut allowing some to spill over the sides of the sandwich.
Place the cheese slices completely over the top.
Set oven to broiler heat.
Broil for about 2-4 minutes or until the cheese has melted.
Serve warm with more dressing if desired.
Serve sandwich on a plate with knife and fork.
