1
Prep the Sauerkraut
Drain the sauerkraut in a fine mesh strainer to remove excess liquid. Rinse under cold water if desired, then set aside.
2
Prepare the Bread
Lay out the slices of rye bread on a clean surface.

3
Layer the Ingredients
Spread 1 tablespoon of Thousand Island dressing on one side of each slice of rye bread. On two of the slices, layer the corned beef, followed by the sauerkraut, and then the Swiss cheese.
4
Top the Sandwich
Place the remaining slices of rye bread on top, dressing side down, to form two sandwiches.

5
Heat the Pan
In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter.
6
Grill the Sandwiches
Once the butter is melted, place one sandwich in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the bread is golden brown. Flip the sandwich, add the remaining butter to the pan, and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the other side is golden and the cheese is melted.
7
Repeat for Second Sandwich
Remove the first sandwich from the skillet and repeat the process with the second sandwich.

8
Cut and Serve
Once both sandwiches are cooked, cut them in half diagonally and serve hot with additional Thousand Island dressing on the side.
