Slow Cooker Reuben Sandwiches from ZestuousI recently stumbled upon a recipe where someone put lunchmeat in a crockpot with beef broth. I wish I could remember the source, so I could give them credit. That recipe inspired me to try other lunchmeats in the slow cooker…and that’s how the Slow Cooker Reuben Sandwich was born.

No need to spend hours brining a brisket and slow cooking it for perfect tenderness. The guy at the deli has already done that hard work for us. It’s easier to just say, “Thank you kind sir, I’ll take two pounds.”

When the family is ready to eat, they can load up their rye bread with a generous spoonful and top it off with a slice of Swiss. Too easy.
