Method

Prepare the Dressing

  1. 1

    Make the 1000 Island Dressing

    In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, ketchup, sweet pickle relish, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste and set aside.

Assemble the Sandwich

  1. 2

    Layer Ingredients

    Lay out the slices of rye bread. Spread a generous amount of the 1000 Island dressing on one side of each slice.

  2. 3

    Add Corned Beef and Sauerkraut

    On one slice, layer the corned beef followed by the sauerkraut. Place the Swiss cheese on top of the sauerkraut.

    Complete the Sandwich

    Top with the second slice of rye bread, dressing side down.

Grill the Sandwich

    Melt Butter

    In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.

  2. 6

    Grill the Sandwich
