  • 8 slice rye bread with caraway seeds

  • 1 cup Thousand Island dressing
  • 0.3 lb corned beef, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup sauerkraut, well drained
  • 0.5 lb Swiss cheese, shredded

Instructions

  1. 1

    Lay out bread slices. Spread one side of each slice with softened butter, then turn them over and spread the other side evenly with Thousand Island dressing.

  2. 2

    Lay corned beef on the dressing side of 4 bread slices, making sure there is no overhang.

  3. 3

    Spread sauerkraut evenly over corned beef, then sprinkle shredded Swiss cheese over top.

  4. 4

    Cover with remaining bread slices, buttered side out. Press gently to compact.
