Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Slice the corned beef into thin strips and set aside. Drain the sauerkraut and squeeze out excess moisture.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Sandwich

    On two slices of rye bread, spread 1 tablespoon of Thousand Island dressing on each. Layer the corned beef, sauerkraut, and Swiss cheese on top. Top with the remaining slices of bread.

  3. 3

    Grill the Sandwich

    In a skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Place the sandwich in the skillet and grill until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Flip the sandwich, add the remaining butter, and grill the other side until golden and the cheese is melted.

  4. 4

    Serve

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