Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Gather all ingredients and start by slicing the corned beef brisket into thin slices if not pre-sliced.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Spread Thousand Island dressing on one side of each slice of rye bread.

  3. 3

    Layer the Ingredients

    On the non-dressing side of one slice, layer the corned beef, sauerkraut, and Swiss cheese. Top with the second slice of rye, dressing side down.

  4. 4

    Grill the Sandwich

    Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwich 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.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the sandwich from the skillet, let it cool for a minute, then cut in half and serve with your choice of side.
