Expert Tips

These sandwiches cry out for a good garlic dill pickle, purchased German potato salad or crunchy potato chips and a side of deli slaw.

To make this a portable potluck sandwich, stir the sliced beef into the sauerkraut. Place the dressing in a squeeze bottle (like for ketchup), and set out a basket of rye buns and smaller slices of Swiss cheese to make it easy for guests to make their own sandwiches.

Need a hearty party snack? Build the sandwiches on slices of party rye for a three-bite treat.

Made this for early St. Patty's Day dinner, everyone loved it. Would definitely recommend a larger cut of corned beef -- say at least 4 lbs. The one I bought was 3.11 lbs and it made six sandwiches with left-over sauerkraut, but no corned beef. One thing you can't do is over cook corned beef so I added some extra water and cooked it for about 15.5 hours total on LOW. Will make it again for fall, it's yummy!

This is a great recipe!!!! My family LOVED this and have requested it several times since and I only made it 3 weeks ago. It is so simple to make...smells up the house with the Sauerkraut, but now that the weather is cooler I'll just open the windows...That WILL NOT prevent me from making this tasty sandwich. Some of the family used hot mustard instead of Thousand Island..it was great. I served with German potato salad..my father who lives with me is German and he said this was EXCELLENT..the entire meal!!! WOW! I absolutely love this recipe. It's different and seems like you spent all day cooking when actually you spent about 5 minutes or less putting it in the crockpot/slow cooker. German Potato salad takes a while but is a great companion for this tasty dish. Enjoy...I know we did!
