Instructions
- 1
Gather all of your ingredients. Starting with two slices of bread, spread the softened butter on one side of each slice of bread.

Flip the butter side over and begin layering the sandwich. I like to start with spreading 1-2 Tbsp of thousand island dressing on one slice of bread (depending on how much dressing you prefer). Then add ¼ cup of sauerkraut on the other slice of bread.

Now add 3 oz. of cooked corned beef on top of the sauerkraut. I kept mine in thick slices but you can chop your beef up if you want. Then add 2 slices of swiss cheese on top of the corned beef.

Place the second slice of bread on top of the cheese to form a sandwich. Repeat the steps for the remaining 3 sandwiches.

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1-2 sandwiches to the skillet (depending on how many will fit). Toast the sandwiches for 2-3 minutes on each side until the bread is golden brown. Serve hot and enjoy!
