- 8 ounces Leftover corned beef
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 1 cup Sauerkraut
- 4 tablespoons Thousand Island dressing
- 2 tablespoons Butter
Instructions
Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Spread 1/2 tablespoon of butter on one side of each slice of rye bread.
Place two slices of bread, buttered side down, onto the hot skillet.
Spread 2 tablespoons of Thousand Island dressing on the upward-facing side of each slice of bread.
Layer 4 ounces of leftover corned beef on top of each slice of bread.
Top the corned beef with 1/2 cup of sauerkraut and 2 slices of Swiss cheese for each sandwich.
Cover each sandwich with the remaining slices of rye bread, buttered side up.
Cook the sandwiches for 3-4 minutes on one side, pressing gently with a spatula to help them brown evenly.
Flip the sandwiches carefully and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, slice them in half, and serve immediately.
