Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, slather one side of the rye bread with butter, and place the butter side down on a sheet pan. Top each piece of bread with Swiss cheese, and corned beef, and bake for 10-15 minutes until the cheese has melted. Then finish each sandwich with Thousand Island dressing and sauerkraut.

Just mix 1/2 cup of mayonnaise, 1/4 cup pickles, 2 tablespoons of ketchup, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon paprika, a dash of cayenne pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon of sugar together.
