Mini Reubens

My wife came home from a trip with some girlfriends (you know who you are) and she was filled with some cooking ideas for me.  This concept is one of those ideas.  These mini reubens are easy, fun to make and to eat.  Since the traditional reuben has sauerkraut in it which is a strong flavor, I made some of the sandwiches with the sauerkraut and made some of them without sauerkraut.

I used a sauerkraut off the shelf.  To prepare it, it was simply simmered in a pot of water for 15 – 20 minutes.              This preparation really mellowed out the strong flavor.  I used a real corn beef that I cooked a day ahead to ensure I was putting good ingredients in the sandwich.
