Grilled Cheese Reuben Sandwiches

The Reuben Sandwich is a North American grilled sandwich composed of corned beef, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and thousand island dressing, grilled between slices of rye bread. It is associated with kosher-style delicatessens, but is not kosher because it combines meat and cheese.
