We are huge Reuben fans, love them any time of year somehow they do taste better when we celebrate and eat them on St.. Patrick's Day. It's a darn good excuse to make them, but they are fabulous all year round! See a list of all St. Patrick's Day recipes at the end of this post.
Open faced Reubens are the perfect appetizer during St. Patrick's Day. After making my Guinness Corned Beef recipe and having leftovers, these are enjoy by friends and family. I love the ease of them with such few ingredients.
Although you can buy store bought ingredients, I make the dressing, rye bread, beef from scratch. I left the recipe links below for you to try.
Then putting these together are easy! Open faced Reubens are a great way to enjoy leftovers!
