Vegetarian Reubens recipe

6 servings

1 pound smoked Cheddar cheese, shredded

1 cup thousand island salad dressing, or to taste

1 (16 ounce) jar sauerkraut, drained

12 slices dark rye bread

2 tablespoons butter

2 tomatoes, sliced

In a large mixing bowl, stir together the cheese and sauerkraut.

Add enough dressing to coat, and mix thoroughly.

Butter each slice of bread on one side.

Spread a thick layer of the cheese mixture onto unbuttered side of half of the bread slices.

Top with sliced tomato and another slice of bread.

Heat a large skillet to medium-high heat.

Fry sandwiches on both sides until the outside is toasted and the cheese is melted.
