Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon horseradish
- 8 slices of bread
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 12 ounces corned beef, thinly sliced
- 8 slices Swiss cheese
- 3/4 cup sauerkraut
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Spicy Mayo: In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, chili sauce, and horseradish. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated. Set aside for later use.
-
Butter the Bread: Spread one side of each slice of bread with butter, ensuring even coverage across the surface.
-
Spread the Mayo Mixture: Generously spread the prepared mayonnaise mixture onto the other side of each slice of bread. This will add a creamy, spicy kick to every bite.
-
Layer the Ingredients: Place a slice of Swiss cheese on four slices of bread, directly on top of the mayo spread. Next, arrange the thinly sliced corned beef over the cheese, ensuring an even distribution of meat.
-
Add the Sauerkraut: Top the corned beef with a generous portion of sauerkraut, adding a tangy crunch to the sandwich.
-
Double Up on Cheese: For an extra gooey and flavorful sandwich, add another slice of Swiss cheese over the sauerkraut layer.
-
Assemble the Sandwiches: Close each sandwich with the remaining slices of prepared bread, mayo side down and butter side up, creating perfect flavor-packed stacks.
-
Cook to Perfection: Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium-low heat. Once hot, carefully place the assembled sandwiches on the cooking surface. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and toasted, and the cheese is melted to perfection.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once the sandwiches are cooked to your desired level of crispiness and gooeyness, remove them from the heat. Cut each sandwich in half diagonally and serve immediately while hot.
