Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 links Kielbasa sausage
- 8 slices Rye bread
- 8 slices Swiss cheese
- 2 cups Sauerkraut
- 2 tablespoons Whole grain mustard
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 1 cup Russian dressing
- 1 teaspoon Caraway seeds
Instructions
Preheat your grill or griddle to medium heat.
Using a sharp knife, split each kielbasa link lengthwise without cutting all the way through, so it opens like a book. Place the split sausages cut-side down on the grill or griddle and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until nicely charred and heated through. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the sauerkraut, whole grain mustard, and caraway seeds. Stir well and cook for 5-7 minutes until the sauerkraut is warmed and infused with the mustard. Remove from heat.
Butter one side of each slice of rye bread. Lay 4 slices, butter-side down, on a clean working surface. Spread a generous layer of Russian dressing on the unbuttered side.
Place a slice of Swiss cheese on top of the Russian dressing layer, followed by one split kielbasa link (cut-side up), a scoop of the warm mustard sauerkraut, and another slice of Swiss cheese. Top each sandwich with another slice of rye bread, butter-side up.
Place the sandwiches on the preheated grill or griddle. Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side until the bread is golden and crisp, then carefully flip and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and the bread is toasted.
Remove the sandwiches from the grill, slice in half, and serve hot. Enjoy your Grilled Split Kielbasa Reubens with Warm Mustard Sauerkraut!
