Ingredients:
For the corned beef:
1 corned beef brisket
2 tablespoons brown mustard
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Seasoning packet (comes with the corned beef)

For the skillet:
2 tablespoons butter
1 jar sauerkraut (drained slightly)
Cooked corned beef (shredded or chopped)
4–6 slices Swiss cheese
For the Thousand Island dressing:
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon brown mustard
2 tablespoons diced pickles
1–2 teaspoons pickle juice
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika

Instructions:

  1. Cook the Corned Beef:
    Place the corned beef brisket in a slow cooker (crockpot).
    Spread brown mustard and Worcestershire sauce over the top.
    Sprinkle the seasoning packet evenly.
    Cover and cook on low for 8 hours until tender.
    Once done, remove and shred or chop the beef. Save some of the juices.
  2. Prepare the Skillet:
    In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
    Add the sauerkraut and cook for about 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
    Add the shredded corned beef and a little of the cooking juices.
    Mix everything together and cook for another 3–5 minutes.
  3. Add the Cheese:
    Spread the mixture evenly in the skillet.
    Place Swiss cheese slices on top.
    Cover the skillet and let the cheese melt (about 2–3 minutes).
  4. Make the Dressing:
    In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, brown mustard, diced pickles, pickle juice, garlic powder, and paprika.
    Mix well until smooth.
  5. Serve:
    Drizzle the Thousand Island dressing over the skillet mixture or serve it on the side.
    Enjoy hot!

Tips:
You can add rye bread on the side if you’re not strictly low-carb.
Adjust the dressing ingredients to your taste (more tangy or creamy).

Great for meal prep and reheats well!
If you want, I can also turn this into a keto sandwich version or wrap .
