Corned Beef & Cabbage for 1. A delicious corned beef & swiss sandwich grilled to perfection, and tastier than what you would get at the local diner or deli.I absolutely love corned beef, but I’m the only one in our family who does, so I have had to get creative in making corned beef & cabbage for St Patrick’s Day.  While I have friends that will cook a corned beef brisket for hours and hours in their crock pot and then make sautéed cabbage and boiled potatoes, that just won’t do in our house.  So, I have decided to take a short cut that I can enjoy on St Patrick’s Day or any other day of the year with a quick trip to the deli.

One of my favorite diner meals is the open face Reuben Sandwich, but I swap out the sauerkraut for cole slaw.  And why should this deliciousness only be available at the diner?  I made my own grilled corned beef and cole slaw sandwich, and its even more delicious than the sandwiches I was getting from the diner.

cole slaw – I buy this at the deli too

Lacey Swiss
Russian Dressing
butter

Put a shmear of Russian Dressing on each slice of bread.  Top each slice with a piece of cheese.  Next, put a layer of cole slaw on 1 slice of bread.  Top with a few thin slices of corned beef, and more swiss cheese, building up your sandwich as large as you want it.  Close your sandwich to cook it.

In a frying pan, melt some butter.  When it starts to get bubbly, put your sandwich in and cook in over a medium flame until the cheese is melted and the bread is toasted.  Flip your sandwich so both slices of bread are toasty.

Allow your sandwich to set for a few minutes before slicing so it doesn’t slide apart. 

Its a little bit messy, but its oh so good!

      I’m the only one in the family who enjoys corned beef, so this is definitely the way to go more often than not.
