Get you a couple of slices of seeded rye bread - light, not dark (though you could use dark, I guess.)
Some sauerkraut, about a 1/4 cup, drained.
Thousand Island Dressing, or Russian dressing, or 1 tbsp mayo mixed with 1 tbsp Heinz Chili sauce
Sliced corned beef (shaved is best) about 2 ounces.
2 slices Lorraine Swiss cheese or similar type.
Butter
Frying pan
Butter 1 slice of the bread, put the butter-side down into the cold frying pan (construct said sammich in the pan, it's easier) - on the non-buttered face up side, spread some Thousand Island, Russian or the mayo-chili sauce mix on it (thick or thin, it's up to you) and then 1 slice of cheese, followed by the corned beef, then the cheese and the other slice of bread (you can put the dressing on the slice if you want, or not) and butter the top of the sandwich that is facing up.
On low heat, start toasting it like you would a grilled cheese sandwich, being careful when you flip it - toast the bottom part uncovered, and then flip and cover the sandwich while the other face toasts. Golden brown is what you are looking for.
Serve with french fries (chips) or potato chips (crisps) and a dilled pickle, your choice of beverage. (I had a diet coke)
Pete's mom had a good recipe for it, and I'm going to ask her for it - this is the one that I use.
It's about a 500 calorie sandwich, and about 45g of fat, 15 g saturated. So I would eat it for lunch, since it's about, oh, half your daily fat calorie intake. LOL.
To cut the fat, use low-fat cheese, low fat dressing and spray the pan with cooking spray instead of using butter or margarine.
You can also use regular beef, ham, turkey - the only thing you can't omit is the sauerkraut.

I hope you made more than one. (Sneeks one out of the pan...)

Try this recipe:
Slowdog's Famous Ruben Sandwich
You will need:
Cooper's Mill Dark Pumpernikel Rye Bread
Armour Star Corned Beef
Bush's Best Bavarian Sourkraut
Cabot Swiss Cheese
Hidden Valley Thousand Island Dressing
Land o' Lakes Unsalted Sweet Butter
Large saucepan
In a low heat saucepan, put some butter in and let it melt to a slow boil. Take a slice of the bread and spread on the dressing. Put some corned beef on and put the bread in the saucepan. Put a slice of swiss on the corned beef. Put some sourkraut on the second slice of bread which has dressing on it and put it in the saucepan. When the cheese begins to melt, put the sandwich together and flip to heat through. When the cheese is melted and the kraut begins to steam, the sandwich is ready to serve. Put it on a plate and cut it in half diagonally.
For sides, I recommend a good garden salad green topped with some fresh small curd cottage cheese, some home fries cooked in extra virgin olive oil (unpealed idaho potatos) and to drink, unchilled Dark Saint Pauli Girl German Ale. For desert, serve up some nice Peach Kutchen. Eat hearty. Live long. And prosper.
