Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Gather all ingredients and have them ready for assembly.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Spread 1 tablespoon of Thousand Island dressing on two slices of rye bread. Layer with house-smoked corned beef, sauerkraut, and Swiss cheese.

  3. 3

    Top the Sandwich

    Spread the remaining Thousand Island dressing on the other two slices of rye bread and place them on top of the cheese.

  4. 4

    Grill the Sandwich

    In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Once melted, place the sandwich in the skillet and grill until the bottom is golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Add the remaining butter to the skillet and flip the sandwich to grill the other side until golden brown and the cheese has melted, about another 3-4 minutes.

  5. 5

    Serve

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