Ingredients
8slicesrye bread
1/2cupThousand Island dressing
1poundcorned beefshaved in the deli
1pound Swiss cheesesliced
1 14.5 ounce sauerkrautcanned or refrigerated; drained and squeezed very dry
3tablespoonsbutter or margarinesoftened
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place two rimmed baking sheets in the oven to heat while you assemble the sandwiches.
Butter one side of each of the slices of bread, and place four of them butter side down.
To these four slices of bread, spread on 1 tablespoon Thousand Island dressing per slice.
Top with one slice of cheese (or a little extra if you want it).
Add several slices of corned beef--I guess at the amount--enough to make it about 1-inch thick on the bread. You can do less if you like.
Add 1/4 cup sauerkraut. Make sure you've pressed out most of the liquid to prevent sogging.
Add 1 more tablespoon Thousand Island dressing to the un-buttered side of your remaining slices of bread. Place it on top of the sandwich, butter side up.
Place the sandwiches on a hot baking sheet and place the second baking sheet on top of the sandwiches.
Bake until the cheese is melted and the sandwiches are hot--about 12-15 minutes. Serve warm.
