Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Thousand Island Dressing

    In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, sweet pickle relish, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Sandwich

    On one slice of pretzel bread, layer the shaved corned beef, Swiss cheese, and a generous amount of Thousand Island dressing. If using, add the balsamic-marinated mushrooms on top. Top with the second slice of pretzel bread.

  3. 3

    Grill the Sandwich

    Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly butter the outside of the sandwich if desired. Grill the sandwich for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove the sandwich from the heat, slice in half, and serve with extra Thousand Island dressing on the side for dipping.
