This open-faced sandwich is a twist on a favorite- a reuben made with roast beef and coleslaw instead of corned beef and sauerkraut. My husband and I made this for my mother-in-law once and the family now affectionately calls it the JaK Newben. (Jason and Kim's New Reuben) Enjoy!

How To Make "newben" reuben

  • Step 1
    Cook the bacon to crispy. Preheat oven to 400. Toast bread.
  • Step 2
    Spread 1/4 of the mayo onto each slice. Layer 2 slices bacon, then 1/4 the roast beef, then 1/4 of the coleslaw, and salt and pepper. Top with one slice of swiss.
  • Step 3
    Bake about 5 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly and melted.
  • Step 4
    Note: I usually double this recipe because the left overs are an easy lunch the next day. You can eat these with a fork and knife or just use your hands and get a little messy. :-)
