1
Cook the Bacon
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
2
Prepare the Slaw
In a bowl, combine the spicy slaw mix with a tablespoon of Thousand Island dressing. Mix well and set aside.

3
Layer the Ingredients
On a slice of sourdough bread, layer a slice of Swiss cheese, corned beef, spicy slaw, bacon, and a slice of Gouda cheese. Repeat with another slice of bread.
4
Spread Thousand Island
Spread a tablespoon of Thousand Island dressing on the outer sides of the assembled sandwiches.

5
Grill the Sandwiches
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Place the sandwiches in the skillet, cooking for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted.
6
Add Crispy Onions
In the last minute of grilling, sprinkle crispy fried onions on top of the sandwiches and press down gently.

7
Serve the Sandwiches
Remove from the skillet, slice in half if desired, and serve immediately with extra Thousand Island dressing on the side.
