This is another favorite of my family's, we have tried many versions of the classic reuben sandwich and found that you really can't go wrong with what you choose to put on it. I made up the reuben wreck, we love sloppy sandwiches and the more messy the better for flavor in my opinion. I got ideas on this sandwich from food network when I seen a cook slam some onion rings and slaw on a huge sandwich.
I start with a beef brisket slow cooked to fork tender and shred it up on a carving block. I then take Texas toast and toast it in the oven and put a handful of the shredded brisket on a slice of the toast.
I then add a slice of swiss cheese and put it in the microwave for a few seconds to melt it.
We use Catalina dressing but you can use any dressing you like. I pour it on over the cheese, then add my homemade slaw.
My homemade slaw is as follows : 1 head of cabbage shredded, a small bag of shredded carrots
3 tbsp of sugar
4 tbsp of vinegar
salt and pepper to taste
2 cups mayo
1/4 cup milk
Mix all together and refrigerate over night and stir before serving
Top this messy sandwich off with another piece of toasted Texas toast and indulge.

| The slaw is a replacement for the sour kraut in the original Reuben and very tasty. I then add deep fried french fry's on top the cole slaw. |
