Method

Sandwich Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Corned Beef

    If using pre-cooked corned beef, ensure it is shredded. If starting from raw, slow-roast the corned beef in a slow cooker on low for 8-10 hours with seasoning.

  2. 2

    Grill the Bread

    Heat a skillet over medium heat. Spread butter on one side of each slice of pumpernickel bread. Place two slices, butter-side down, in the skillet.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Layer the shredded corned beef on top of the bread in the skillet, followed by Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and a generous drizzle of Thousand Island dressing. Top with another slice of pumpernickel bread, butter-side up.

  4. 4

    Grill the Sandwich

    Cook for about 4-5 minutes, until the bottom is golden brown and the cheese starts to melt. Carefully flip the sandwich and grill the other side for another 4-5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Once both sides are golden and crispy, remove the sandwich from the skillet. Let it cool for a minute, then slice in half and serve with additional Thousand Island dressing if desired.
