Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Slow Cooker Reuben Sandwiches with Corned Beef.
Step 1
Begin by placing the sauerkraut, along with its flavorful liquid, into your slow cooker.
Step 2
Nestle the corned beef brisket right on top, allowing it to soak up all the deliciousness.
Step 3
Pour a rich dark beer over the brisket, then scatter sliced onions, whole garlic cloves, and a sprinkle of pickling spice around and atop the meat for an aromatic boost.
Step 4
Cover the slow cooker and set it to the Low setting, letting it work its magic for 7 to 8 hours until the brisket is melt-in-your-mouth tender.
Step 5
Once the cooking time is up, gently lift the brisket from the slow cooker and let it rest for about 10 minutes to retain its juices.
Step 6
Carefully drain the excess liquid, but keep the sauerkraut for later.
Step 7
Slice the corned beef thinly against the grain for optimal tenderness.
Step 8
To create your sandwiches, layer the succulent sliced corned beef, tangy sauerkraut, and creamy Swiss cheese between slices of hearty rye bread.
Step 9
Pop the open-faced sandwiches into a toaster oven and toast for around 5 minutes, or until the cheese is gloriously melted and bubbly.
Step 10
Serve these delightful creations with a side of Thousand Island dressing for dipping, and enjoy a taste of tradition with every bite.
