Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place two rimmed baking sheets in the oven to heat while you assemble the sandwiches.

Step 2

Butter one side of each of the slices of bread, and place four of them butter side down.

Step 3

To these four slices of bread, spread on 1 tablespoon Thousand Island dressing per slice.

Step 4

Top with one slice of cheese (or a little extra if you want it).

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Add 1/4 cup sauerkraut. Make sure you've pressed out most of the liquid to prevent sogging.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Place the sandwiches on a hot baking sheet and place the second baking sheet on top of the sandwiches.

Step 9

Bake until the cheese is melted and the sandwiches are hot--about 12-15 minutes. Serve warm.
