Not sure if there's a more established recipe but I usually do the follows

  • Rye bread, I usually use the pumpernickel rye swirl bread

  • Corned beef, half pound is usually plenty for two people.

  • Swiss cheese, I prefer “baby” Swiss but any will do.

  • Sauerkraut, I like the glass jars from Aldi.

  • Thousand island dressing, I just buy a cheap bottle. I assume you can make this yourself

  • Butter

1. Butter the rye bread, put into medium-warm pan

2. Start stacking meat-cheese-meat to your preference.

3. Add kraut and dressing on the meat and cheese, topping with a single slice of cheese.

4. Brown bread and melt cheese to your preference.

5. Serve hot.

The _WHAT_? This is cultural appropriation and cultural destruction at the same time. :marseyzwei: Also from the looks of it, it isn't real pumpernickel? I don't want to derail this into a bread discussion, but.... This is rye bread. This is pumpernickel. As you can see the texture is different, the grains are important. Also afaik you cannot bake something half/half. Please check if they use food coloring, cause usually the dark coloring is from the maillard reaction and I don't know if they can achieve this otherwise.

Of course, in the end: as long as it tastes good it's all okay :marseyhungry:

Sauerkraut, I like the glass jars from Aldi.

German company for German product :marseythumbsup: Do you use it raw or cook it earlier?

Maybe I should post some cheap & easy recipes which use sauerkraut :marseythinkorino:

Question on the making process: do you put a lid on it at any point? I think it would help the melting process, but on the other hand it might frick with the texture of the bottom piece of bread (the top peace you obviously add later).

Agreed, pretty easy to throw together if you stop for ingredients beforehand.

Yeah honestly I don't get them often because I'll just make them myself. Great lunch.

If I started making them they'd be less special when I got them, so it's a tough call tbh

IDK they're a special snack when I make em cause I have to go out of my way to get the bread and corned beef at least.

You say that but carpathianflorist is actually a cool guy. We met at Ruq-con (same hotel floor) and after the VIP party we went to a bar for some more drinks. He's kind of strange, he has rainbow hair and a lilac suit (he likes to be counter-culture) but he's a smart guy who makes the types of joke that you wouldn't repeat around deal old Grandma, over all fun to be around. The only odd thing was when I went to the urinal before I left he came up behind me, slipped a finger in my butt and said "No one will believe you" and walked off without another word. Not a bad guy when you get to know him.
