1
Prepare the ingredients
Gather all ingredients: rye bread, corned beef, Swiss cheese, Thousand Island dressing, sauerkraut, and butter.
2
Toast the sauerkraut
In a small pan over medium heat, warm the sauerkraut for about 5 minutes until heated through. Drain any excess liquid and set aside.

3
Spread the dressing
Spread 1 tablespoon of Thousand Island dressing on one side of each slice of rye bread.
4
Layer ingredients
On two slices of bread (dressing side up), layer the corned beef, warmed sauerkraut, and Swiss cheese.
5
Top the sandwich
Place the other two slices of bread on top, dressing side down, to complete the sandwiches.

6
Butter the bread
Spread 1 tablespoon of butter on the outer side of each sandwich.
7
Grill the sandwich
In a skillet over medium heat, place the sandwiches buttered side down. Grill for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown.
8
Flip and cook
Carefully flip the sandwiches, adding the remaining butter to the pan if necessary, and grill the other side for another 4-5 minutes until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden brown.

9
Slice and serve
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, slice in half if desired, and serve immediately while warm.
