Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by shredding 1 cup of corned beef and draining 1 cup of sauerkraut with care to avoid excess moisture.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium heat and butter one side of each of the 4 slices of rye bread.
  3. Place two slices of rye bread, buttered side down, on the skillet. Layer half of the corned beef, half of the sauerkraut, and top with 2 tablespoons of Swiss cheese on each slice.
  4. Take the remaining slices of rye bread and place them on top with the buttered sides facing outwards. Press down gently on each sandwich.
  5. Grill for about 4-5 minutes until golden brown on one side, then flip and grill the other side until crispy and gooey.
  6. Remove from the skillet, let cool slightly, slice in half, and serve warm.
