Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the 1000 Island Dressing

    In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, sweet pickle relish, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well mixed.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Sauerkraut

    Drain the sauerkraut and squeeze out excess liquid to avoid sogginess in the sandwich.

Assembly

  1. 3

    Layer the Ingredients

    On two slices of marbled rye bread, layer 4 oz of thinly sliced corned beef, followed by 1 cup of prepared sauerkraut, and 2 slices of Swiss cheese.

  2. 4

    Spread the Dressing

    Spread a generous amount of the homemade 1000 Island dressing on the other two slices of marbled rye bread.

  3. 5

    Close the Sandwich

    Top the layered ingredients with the slices of bread that have the dressing, dressing side down.

Cooking

  1. 6

    Grill the Sandwich

    Preheat a skillet or grill over medium heat. Place the assembled sandwiches in the skillet and grill each side for about 3-4 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, cut in half, and serve hot with additional 1000 Island dressing on the side if desired.
