Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Gather all the ingredients and have them ready for assembly.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Sandwich

    On one slice of pumpernickel bread, layer 4 oz of corned beef, followed by 1 cup of sauerkraut, and 4 oz of Swiss cheese. Spread 1 tbs of Thousand Island dressing on another slice of bread and place it on top.

  3. 3

    Grill the Sandwich

    Heat 1 tbs of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Once melted, place the assembled sandwich in the skillet. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip and add another tbs of butter to the skillet. Grill the other side for another 4-5 minutes until the cheese is melted and the bread is crispy.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove the sandwich from the skillet, slice in half, and serve with additional Thousand Island dressing on the side.
