Old School Reuben | Canned Corned Beef Grilled Sandwich | John Eats Cheap

John digs into the pantry and makes an old fashioned Reuben sandwich. It brings back memories and makes it delicious.

Man, that's how I grew up and thought that was the way you made Reubens all over lol. This brought me back. Of course, we were extra cheap and substituted thousand island for Yellow mustard.

When I tried a traditional Reuben it floored me, but I still long for this old style to be honest from time to time!

[sharonlalli]

Definitely going to do this. Love ruebens. ❤

Hi John, I've been wanting to try canned corned beef and now I will. I like you and Mrs. Cheap. Thank you

[alexpinet]

Right on, John! I know it’s early, but happy holidays to you and Mrs. Cheap! I’m hoping for lots of Christmas-related videos from you both! Thanks again for the great content and be well.

My local Fry's [a Kroger affiliate] has been selling Kroger Canned Corn Beef at 2/$5. I stocked up.

The clear, jelly like stuff is gelatin, not fat.

I just brown a can of corned beef. I added ground pepper. I love it browned, hmm. Since there are left overs I be making a Ruben with the rest of it. I can't resist reheated canned corn beef. Oh, I also grew up using mustard insteat of thousand island...
Loved this walk down memory lane!

Did you ever eat fried bologna sammies or liverworst?

I bought a few cans to store in my pantry for emergency. I’m in Fla. hurricanes are often . I stored a nice full pantry with home canned foods, dehydrated foods. Corned beef is on my shelves. I seared my canned corn beef it made it wonderful . Today I’m going to make a Ruben . With it. Next I’ll buy a corned beef roast and boil it and try that as a test. I’m going to use homemade Russian dressing.

I prefer this over the thin sliced meat. I want either fresh chunky corned beef or canned. Mmmmm

[BDCF]

I would sear off both sides of that corned beef first before assembling.

[Ellyn]

Oh boy...that thick meat did NOT look good John. First time Ive thought that about anything youve fixed. We always use the Buddig corned beef...the paper thin stuff..2 pkgs per sandwich. But if you and the missus like it..go for it!

[Tracy]

I REALLY need to take you to a real Jewish deli to get some REAL corned beef.
Did you know that Reubens were actually invented in Nebraska?
P.S. a REAL Reuben has to be served with a huge kosher dill pickle and a can of Doctor Brown’s cream soda or root beer.

[Zouhair-rghy]

I don't know if you are making a sandwich or preaching

[dizziechef]

Never make a video with cold butter. We will judge your good sense.

[bwojak]

That looks like the worst Reuben I’ve ever seen
