Was digging through freezer looking for some canadien bacon the wife said was there. Ran across some homemade pastrami I forgot about first. Yum. Dont have rye, swiss, or russian or thousand island dressing. Will have to make do with what is on hand.

Slice of sourdough cut in half, buttered, placed into skillet to melt cheese and brown. I used gouda on one side and pepper jack on other. Why, because it sounded good.

Make the filling. Layer of the homemade pastrami, sauerkraut, and another pastrami. Into the pan to heat, flip til hot inside.

Didnt have dressing but did have some really good beer mustard from back home. Slathered it over the melted cheese.

Grand finale. Deliciousness!!! I love the hangy out pieces.

This is really good with horseradish too. Contemplated pickles but didnt want to take away the strami taste.

Great looking sandwich! Good job improvising to make it happen!

Yum. For future reference, you can make Russian dressing in 5 minutes with stuff you (most likely) already have in your refrigerator. Ketchup, mayo, relish, Worcestershire, lemon juice, and if you like it, a bit of horseradish.

I think I'll try your version next time.

That looks awesome ! Those meals of using what you have are some of the best . I had a buddy that made a " Polish reuben " . Italian bread , Krakow , swiss , kraut and horseradish mustard . Good stuff .

good beer mustard from back home.

Spent some time running the river road when I was young . Been awhile .
