1
Prepare the Ingredients
Gather all the ingredients: corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, rye bread, Thousand Island dressing, and butter.
2
Warm the Sauerkraut
In a small saucepan, heat the sauerkraut over medium heat until warmed through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess liquid if necessary.

3
Assemble the Sandwich
Spread 1 tablespoon of Thousand Island dressing on one side of each slice of rye bread.
4
Layer the Ingredients
On two slices of bread (dressing side up), layer the corned beef, warm sauerkraut, and Swiss cheese. Top with the remaining slices of bread, dressing side down.

5
Grill the Sandwich
In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Add the remaining butter as needed.

6
Serve
Once grilled to perfection, remove the sandwiches from the skillet, slice in half, and serve warm with extra Thousand Island dressing on the side.
