Reuben Dog

Experience a mouthwatering fusion of flavors with the Reuben Dog, a creative twist on the traditional Reuben sandwich. This indulgent hot dog is generously topped with savory corned beef, tangy sauerkraut, and melty Swiss cheese, all drizzled with creamy Thousand Island dressing. Perfect for grilling season or any casual gathering, the Reuben Dog is sure to satisfy your cravings for both comfort food and gourmet flavor. This dish pays homage to the classic Jewish deli sandwich that originated in New York City, bringing together the best of both worlds in a fun and portable form.

Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • Hot dogs (4)
  • Hot dog buns (4)
  • Corned beef (8 ounces, sliced)
  • Sauerkraut (1 cup, drained)
  • Swiss cheese (4 slices)
  • Thousand Island dressing (1/2 cup)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium heat.
  2. Grill the hot dogs until heated through, about 5 minutes, turning occasionally for even cooking.
  3. While the hot dogs are grilling, prepare the buns by placing a slice of Swiss cheese inside each bun.
  4. Once the hot dogs are done, place each grilled hot dog on top of the cheese in the buns.
  5. Top each hot dog with an equal portion of sliced corned beef and a generous scoop of drained sauerkraut.
  6. Drizzle each hot dog with Thousand Island dressing to enhance the flavors.
  7. Carefully place the assembled Reuben dogs on the grill. Close the lid and cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Remove the Reuben dogs from the grill and serve hot, garnished with extra Thousand Island dressing if desired.
