Made this for friends this past Sunday and they were a big hit. I ended up heating the corned beef and pastrami a little before placing them between the ritz cracker. Pretty easy to make and everyone enjoyed it. Read More

This was an interesting combination for a Ritz cracker. I have never had pastrami before and only corned beef a few times. The dressing was on the thin side but had a nice taste. The meat and dressing would make much better grilled sandwiches. Ritz crackers have a very distinct taste and are heavy tasting that seem to over-power many of these oderbs. Maybe with a different style of Ritz possibly. I also thought it badly needed some swiss cheese to give it that deli sandwich taste to me. Read More

While this was a great treat to have for #gameday. I found it had way to much meat. Using the Hillshire Farms deli slices my stack literally 2 1/2 inches tall. So I cut down to half the meat that was required. Other then that the sauce was nice a bit runny but nice. My family enjoyed this. Read More

These are quick and easy to make! The homemade russian dressing is delicious with the pastrami and corned beef. It is easy to assemble. I prefer it opened faced because it is easier to eat. Read More

The dressing is fantastic with the pastrami & corned beef! I'm happy to have the recipe to try with full sized sandwiches and look forward to making reubens by adding melted swiss and sauerkraut to the other ingredients--served on rye of course! YUM. Read More

So easy and so yummy! Made this for this past superbowl and it was a hit. The only thing I would recommend is make these right before your ready to eat so that the cracker does not get soggy from the dressing. Oh I did add a slice of baby swiss. Overall very good and I will make again. Read More
