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
- 0 Optional (for serving) Pickles
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Step 4
To assemble the sandwiches, spread each slice of rye bread with Thousand Island dressing.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Spread a thin layer of butter on the outside of each sandwich (both the top and bottom slices).
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Slice sandwiches in half and serve warm with pickles, if desired.
