Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 lbs Corned beef brisket
- 1 cup Water
- 2 cups Sauerkraut
- 8 Rye bread slices
- 8 Swiss cheese slices
- 1 cup Thousand Island dressing
- 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
- Optional (for serving) Pickles
Instructions
Place the corned beef brisket in the slow cooker and pour 1 cup of water over it. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily shredded.
Once the meat is cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and let it cool slightly before shredding using two forks. Reserve some of the cooking juices.
Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
To assemble the sandwiches, spread each slice of rye bread with Thousand Island dressing.
Layer shredded corned beef, sauerkraut, and a slice of Swiss cheese on 4 slices of bread. Top each with another slice of bread, dressing side down, to form a sandwich.
Spread a thin layer of butter on the outside of each sandwich (both the top and bottom slices).
Cook each sandwich in the skillet or griddle for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted.
Slice sandwiches in half and serve warm with pickles, if desired.
