Reuben Stack

Reuben sandwiches are one my favorite foods. Following a LCHF eating plan, it makes it difficult to eat reubens. Rye bread and thousand island dressing are carb-loaded. So...how to meet my craving. I decided to try making a reuben stack.

Reuben Stack
4 slices corned beef
1/2 c. sauerkraut, rinsed
2 slices Swiss cheese
1 T. mayonnaise
paprika

1) I start by rinsing my sauerkraut. Why? I think it removes some of the bite, but keeps the taste. Don't rinse it if you don't want to, it's up to you.
2) heat 1/2 cup of the sauerkraut in the microwave for 45 seconds or so, to take the chill off. (I have an old microwave. I paid 10 bucks for it 20 years ago. Maybe yours is more powerful and you don't need 45 seconds).
3) Lay the slices of corned beef on a plate, spread the sauerkraut over it, and top with the Swiss cheese. Microwave until the cheese is melted.
4) Spread mayonnaise over the top and sprinkle with paprika.

I absolutely loved it!
