Preparation Instructions

1

Prepare the Beef Patty

In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Form the mixture into two large patties.

2

Cook the Patties

Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired doneness.

3

Assemble the Sandwich

Spread 1 tablespoon of Thousand Island dressing on one side of each slice of rye bread. On 4 slices, layer a cooked beef patty, a slice of Swiss cheese, and 1/4 cup of sauerkraut. Top with another slice of rye bread, dressing side down.

4

Grill the Sandwich

In the same skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Place the assembled sandwiches in the skillet and grill for 3-4 minutes on each side until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Add more butter as necessary.

5

Serve

Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and cut them in half. Serve warm with extra Thousand Island dressing on the side.
