The first time I had a real Reuben sandwich, I was at the famous Stein’s Market and Deli in New Orleans. If I could advocate for anything, it would be to eat your first Reuben sandwich there. If you can’t travel for a sandwich (a big ask, I know), here are 16 Reuben recipes that go above and beyond the classic sandwich we all know and love. From casseroles to hand pies to nachos, these Reuben recipes will delight Reuben and non-Reuben fans alike.

Slow Cooker Reuben Dip
Chef Mo
"A wonderful, easy, creamy hot dip that even sauerkraut haters love," says Allrecipes member C Ella Church. "I often take this to work potlucks because I can assemble it at work. Just throw everything in and stir a few times. Also, it's delicious when it's overcooked and kind of dry!"

Reuben Crescent Bake
"My husband and I really enjoyed this. I made it as directed and it was quite easy and delicious!" says reviewer katipa. "Next time I make it I'm going to try Russian dressing instead of the Thousand Island because I think it's a little tangier."

Pastrami Reuben Sandwich

"I've avoided Reubens for one main reason—sauerkraut. We thought we'd try this recipe out, despite my reservations!" says reviewer Michelle H. "This sandwich is really good and extremely quick. I tasted the sauerkraut first, alone, and it was horrible—but, all the ingredients are together for a reason, and make a tasty combination. Try this recipe, even if you're a little afraid! We'll be making this one again."

Red Reuben Hand Pies
"The inspiration for this tasty hand pie comes from a local German restaurant that serves an exceptional Red Reuben sandwich," says Allrecipes member lutzflcat. "They swap out sauerkraut for red cabbage on a traditional Reuben sandwich with awesome results. German potato salad and dill pickles are excellent sidekicks."
