Kielbasa and Sauerkraut Reuben
The classic Reuben gets a facelift with kielbasa sausage instead of traditional pastrami, and smoked gouda cheese instead of swiss. These sandwiches are ready to eat in just 15 minutes, equally suitable for a summer’s day or a chilly afternoon. Make sure your rye bread is cut on the thicker side, so it can hold up to that Polish kielbasa and gooey melted cheese. Goes well with pickles, potato salad or coleslaw!
