Mini Pastrami Reubens

 

The classic Reuben sandwich gets a new twist by using Pastrami along with the traditional Swiss cheese and thousand island dressing. These are always a crowd-pleaser and works great for football parties.

1 lb Sauerkraut, drained but not rinsed
2 TB Thousand Island Dressing
1 pkg Party Rye Bread (small rounds or squares)
1/2 lb Pastrami, thinly sliced
1/3 lb Swiss Cheese, thinly sliced

In a small bowl, combine sauerkraut and dressing. Place rye bread slices in a single layer on baking sheet. Place 1 thin slice of Swiss cheese on each round. Next, place 1 tablespoon of sauerkraut mixture in center of each slice. Top with 2 thin slices of pastrami and 1 slice of Swiss cheese. Heat under the broiler for 5-10 minutes or until cheese is melted. Makes about 30 appetizers
