In Arkansas City, Kansas, Helen Jay uses leftover corned beef for this twist on a traditional Reuben. She dips the sandwiches in egg and crushed corn chips before grilling them to crunchy perfection. "These tasty sandwiches are great with a cup of soup," she notes.

Not my favorite recipe for a twist on the classic Reuben sandwich. I found the recipe incorrect as to how many slices to assemble sandwich as to how many in the recipe. I thought it was a little dry with the crushed corn chips. 2 1/2 cups of crushed chips was way too much to use. Only used about a 1/4 of that. I really had high hopes of this being a winner...not.
