Ingredients
-
1 (14.5 ounce) can sauerkraut with liquid
-
1 (3 pound) corned beef brisket
-
1 (12 ounce) bottle dark beer
-
1 medium onion, sliced
-
3 cloves garlic, peeled and whole
-
2 tablespoons pickling spice (such as McCormick)
-
½ pound sliced Swiss cheese
-
6 slices rye bread
-
½ cup Thousand Island dressing
Directions
-
Place sauerkraut with liquid into a slow cooker and lay corned beef on top. Add beer, onion, garlic, and pickling spice around and on top of corned beef.
-
Cook on Low until brisket is very tender, 7 to 8 hours. Remove brisket from the slow cooker and let rest for 10 minutes.
-
Drain and discard excess liquid from the slow cooker so you can easily access sauerkraut.
-
Thinly slice corned beef against the grain. Assemble open-faced sandwiches by layering corned beef, sauerkraut, and Swiss cheese slices on rye bread. Reserve remaining corned beef for another use.
-
Place open-faced sandwiches in a toaster oven and toast until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes. Serve with Thousand Island dressing as a condiment.
Recipe Tip
You can use brown mustard in place of Thousand Island dressing.
