• 3 3. grill sandwiches until both sides are golden brown, about 15 minutes per side. serve hot.
• 4 my update notes: i drained the sourkraut but didn't rinse it, because we like the tangy taste of the sourkraut. i buttered rye bread slices on one side and spread thousand island dressing on the other side. on the dressing side i placed a slice of swiss cheese, sliced pastrami from the deli and then topped with sourkraut. i cooked them on my grill until the cheese was melted and the bread was nice and toasted. they were delicious! i only gave the four star rating because the sourkraut in the middle wasn't very warm. next time i make these i will warm the sourkraut in the microwave first and maybe add another slice of swiss too! i made was to heat the sauerkraut in the microwave for 20 seconds before adding to the sandwich. i like my sandwich warmed all the way through. i would recommend keeping a good eye on your bread and toast it to your liking. if you like rueben sandwiches you will love this one!
