Butter each slice of bread.
8 slices marble rye bread, butter
Flip the slices over, and spread a thin layer of dressing on each slice.
½ cup Thousand Island dressing
Top 4 of the slices with an equal amount of corned beef and sauerkraut, and 1 slice of Swiss cheese.
1 lb. sliced corned beef, 1½ cups sauerkraut, 4 slices Swiss cheese
Place the 4 remaining slices of bread, buttered side up, on the top of the cheese.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
Once heated, cook the sandwiches on the skillet for a few minutes on each side. Cover the skillet for a minute or two to ensure the cheese is melted and gooey.

Use Russian dressing instead: Combine 1 cup mayonnaise, ¼ cup ketchup, 1 tbsp finely chopped onion, 2-4 tsp jarred horseradish, 1 tsp hot sauce, 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce, ¼ tsp ground paprika, and ¼ tsp ground black pepper.
