Ingredients

  • 8 slices Rye Bread
  • 1/2 cup Russian dressing
  • 8-10 large slices homemade corned beef, recipe linked below
  • 15 oz can sauerkraut, drained
  • 8 oz Swiss cheese, shredded
  • 2 Tbsp butter

Instructions

  • Arrange slices of bread on a cutting board. Spread Russian dressing on each slice.
  • Divide sauerkraut amongst 4 slices. Top with shredded Swiss cheese. Add corned beef slices and top with remaining slices of bread.
  • In a large skillet, melt 1-2 tablespoons of butter. Carefully place sandwiches in the skillet, allowing the bread to crisp up and brown. Using a large spatula, slip each sandwich.
  • Cover the pan, which will help the cheese melt. Once the other side of the sandwich is browned and the cheese is melted through, remove sandwiches to a cutting board to cool slightly. Use a sharp knife to cut each sandwich in half. Serve warm.
