Corned Beef Crock Pot for Reuben

Make pastrami in the slow cooker then assemble Reuben sandwiches for the entire family!

Yesterday I decided to make Slow Cooker Reuben Sandwiches, one of my husband's favorites. Men and their cured meat right? I added a smokey coriander black pepper rub, which gives the corned beef a pastrami flavor. And after some research, I found out that these sandwiches are really called "Rachel's" because of the cole-slaw instead of the sauerkraut, and the pastrami instead of the corned beef (pastrami is usually smoked corned beef with a coriander black pepper crust). Who knew right?

For these slow cooker Reuben sandwiches, you can make Slow Cooker Corned Beef and Cabbage, and use the leftover corned beef for the sandwiches. If you plan on making just sandwiches, my recipe for slow cooker Reuben sandwich meat is below, I rubbed the corned beef with a  smokey coriander black pepper rub, and wrapped in foil 4 times, and cooked on low in my slow cooker for 7 hours.

I made a homemade slaw to go on the sandwiches, I used chopped cabbage, grated carrots, and grated onions. The cole-slaw dressing I made has horseradish, Dijon mustard, and poppy seeds in it. Talk about some good cole-slaw! I love how crisp and fresh homemade cole-slaw tastes! Or you can buy a cole-slaw kit at the store, to save time. If you like sauerkraut, replace the cole-slaw for sauerkraut.

I also made a homemade Russian dressing, I could drink that stuff, seriously. Give the homemade Russian dressing a try, I put diced onion in it, that little touch puts it over the top.

And don't forget the Marble Rye!
