• Turn bread over; layer with ham, cabbage, and then Swiss cheese. Broil until cheese is golden, 4 to 6 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine mayonnaise and ketchup; season with salt and pepper. Serve with Reuben sandwiches.

• Drizzle the dressing generously over the sauerkraut allowing some to spill over the sides of the sandwich.
• Place the cheese slices completely over the top (the cheese should melt over the sides of the sandwich).
• Set oven to broiler heat.
• Broil for about 2-4 minutes or until the cheese has melted.
• Serve warm with more dressing if desired.
• Serve sandwich on a plate with knife and fork.
