Rueben Irish Nachos
Our family is not a big corned beef family, but we LOVE a good Rueben. We love a good sandwich, but rueben ingredients can be so good in other ways too! We love our rueben sliders on yummy Hawaiian rolls! We have also done rueben egg rolls and rueben pizza! It is all so good and different! We tried these this year and my kids were begging me to make them again and again! They are soooo good!!
