• In a large bowl, combine the mayonnaise, chili sauce, sauerkraut, corned beef and Swiss cheese. Spread over 15 slices of bread, about 1/3 cup on each; top with remaining bread. Lightly butter the outside of sandwiches. Toast on a hot griddle for 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Serve with Thousand Island dressing if desired.

EASY CORNED BEEF FOR DELI SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Remove brisket from vacuum packaging.
• Remove visible outside fat and wash.
• Place in crockpot.
• Add pickling spices and the beer.
• Cook on High for about 6-8 hours.
• (You may wish to turn the corned beef once).
• Continue cooking until beef is tender but not falling apart.
• Total time will depend on size of roast.
• Gently remove corned beef from crockpot, keeping it in one piece if possible.
• If any chunk of beef falls off, just place the 2 pieces together before wrapping as instructed below.
• Scrape off any outside fat, using a very sharp knife.
• TO KEEP BEEF FROM CRUMBLING DURING SLICING: Immediately wrap the hot corned beef in plastic wrap, wrapping it as tightly ACROSS THE GRAIN as possible.
• Snugly fold ends of plastic to completely encase beef.
• The heat from the beef may/will"seal" the plastic wrap and keep corned beef moist.
• Put wrapped beef in a Zip-lock bag and REFRIGEATE.
• When ready to serve, thinly slice across the grain with a sharp knife (not serrated) or an electric slicing machine.
• NOTE: I usually turn the crockpot ON when I go to bed, and the corned beef is ready when I wake up.
• I wrap and refrigerate it, and it's perfect for lunch-time sandwiches.
