1
Prepare the Corned Beef
If using pre-cooked corned beef, slice it thinly. If using uncooked corned beef, cure it in-house according to your preferred recipe.
2
Prepare the Chow Chow
Ensure Josie's Chow Chow is ready to use. You may make it ahead of time or use store-bought.

3
Layer the Ingredients
On two slices of marble rye bread, layer the sliced corned beef, followed by one slice of Swiss cheese. Top with a generous spoonful of Josie's Chow Chow and another slice of Swiss cheese. Place another slice of marble rye on top to complete the sandwich.

4
Butter the Bread
Spread one tablespoon of unsalted butter on the outer side of each sandwich.
5
Grill the Sandwich
In a skillet over medium heat, place the sandwich butter-side down. Grill until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Flip the sandwich, add the remaining butter to the skillet, and grill the other side until golden brown and the cheese is melted, about another 3-4 minutes.

6
Slice and Serve
Once grilled, remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it sit for a minute. Slice in half and serve with a side of Thousand Island dressing for dipping.
