Really the amounts are only a guideline, you may use as much as desired, my family loves them piled high, amounts are for one sandwich --- if desired you could toast 2 slices of bread and make it into a sandwich, use the largest slice of pumpernickle for this! --- see my recipe#188009

Time 8m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 slice dark rye pumpernickel bread
1 tablespoon soft butter
1/4 lb shaved pastrami or 1/4 lb corned beef
2 -3 ounces sauerkraut, drained
thousand island dressing (use any amount desired) or Russian salad dressing (use any amount desired)
2 slices swiss cheese (can use mozzarealla but Swiss is better)

Steps:

  • Toast the bread in a toaster until lightly golden brown, then spread butter over one side.
  • Pile the meat on top of the bread, then the sauerkraut on top of the meat.
  • Drizzle the dressing generously over the sauerkraut allowing some to spill over the sides of the sandwich.
  • Place the cheese slices completely over the top (the cheese should melt over the sides of the sandwich).
  • Set oven to broiler heat.
  • Broil for about 2-4 minutes or until the cheese has melted.
  • Serve warm with more dressing if desired.
  • Serve sandwich on a plate with knife and fork.
