Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bread

    Butter one side of each slice of rye bread.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Sandwich

    On the unbuttered side of two slices, layer 4 oz of corned beef, ½ cup of sauerkraut, 2 slices of Swiss cheese, and 2 tbs of Thousand Island dressing. Top with the other slices of bread, buttered side facing out.

  3. 3

    Grill the Sandwich

    Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Cut the sandwich in half and serve warm with extra Thousand Island dressing on the side, if desired.
