I have decided my sauerkraut is finished. At any rate, when I opened it and smelled it, it smelled sour. In a good way. I guess maybe it could have fermented longer, but I’m not a big fan of strong kraut anyway.
My boss got a 8 gallon tub of Bavarian potato salad from a customer, and gave me some. So I figured that means it’s time to make Reuben sandwiches.
A Reuben, of course, is just a grilled cheese in disguise. For my opinion on grilled cheese, check out: https://mightaswelllaugh.com/2020/12/15/this-should-be-a-no-brainer-right/
So I made Reubens with my fresh out of the jar sauerkraut. And they were good.

Cheap corned beef. I’ll buy a better brand next time. 
A reuben usually has swiss, but I was using up leftover cheese from our party. 
I forgot to add the dressing. Fortunately, I remembered before it was too late. 
room temp butter is a requirement for grilled cheese 
looks like kraut… 
Yum!
Was the sauerkraut good? Yes, I enjoyed it very much. My guy said it was good. My mom, as usual, thought it didn’t have much flavor. Whatever.

I like cabbage in all forms so I am sure it was good. I do like a good sauerkraut. Hmmm now that I am not eating meat, I will have to look up a recipe for a vegetarian Reuben.
