And a pound of GB

(http://i726.photobucket.com/albums/ww263/OU812_bucket/meat/100_1557.jpg)

Ground a pound of Pastramie.

Mixed the GB with the Pastramie.

Then ground 4 slices of fresh rye bread.

Almost forgot one of my favorits.

Mixed all the wet stuff together then added the bread, mixed again then added the meat.

Rolled that out and added more thousand island dressing.

Next came the smoked Swiss.

And topped it all off with some kraut.

Rolled that bad boy up and ,,,,,,,, Walla.

Looks like the perfect Reuben Roll (assuming your dark rye had caraway seeds in it).  As a matter of fact, it looks almost exactly like the recipe I have (which came from a magazine about 30 years ago, although I omit the pickle relish).  Only major thing missing is having your expert and experienced taste tester (that would be me) scarfing that puppy down when it comes out of the smoker.  Maybe that's a good thing - at least for you.

CURT! Darn you!  You beat me to it.  I have been scheming all weekend exactly how I was going to put this all together but once again, I'm a day late and a dollar short.

Nice job Curt!  Really nice job!

Looks great. Your rolling technique is awesome. First off I could never roll the meat mixture out so even and second I could never roll it up so neatly. Nice job.

All of those brown dots are the rye bread, surprised they held together after the mixing.

Needs more kraut gonna double it next time.

Great fattie would love to have a slice off that one!

Looks great Curt. I think I would leave the Kraut the same in the next batch. That way you can pan fry up some kraut and add it to the sandwich as your making it. Maybe even a tad more Thousand Island dressing. Just a Thunk

I did add 1/4 cup dressing to the meat mixture along with the slather on the meat,,still needs more.

Think I'll add 1 tsp caraway seed to it next time also.
