This is a delicious way to use up St. Patrick’s Day leftovers.

• Party rye bread
• Butter
• 1 can sauerkraut (if you can find Frank’s brand, skip the beer)
• 1 cup beer
• Swiss cheese, thinly sliced
• Irish-style corned beef, thinly sliced
• 3 tablespoons sour cream
• 1 cup Thousand Island dressing

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter bread on one side and place in 9×13 baking pan buttered side down. Cook sauerkraut in beer for about 10 minutes; drain well. Layer sauerkraut over bread, then Swiss cheese, then corned beef, then another layer of Swiss cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Mix sour cream with Thousand Island dressing, and serve on side.
