Repost-The Marriage Renewing Sandwich

I am reposting this post from last year for 2 reasons. The first is because I could not pull it together enough to make a St. Patty's Day inspired post. Secondly, this sandwich is one of the only reasons I will be making a St. Patty's Day meal....it requires left overs. You WILL thank me. Trust me. 

I think my husband fell in love with me all over again over dinner tonight. I didn't think it would be possible to woo him with food, but apparently I was wrong. After one bite of this sandwich he looked at me and after ten years said, "you're a keeper"...well finally!

This sandwich is the most masculine, hunky, chunky sandwich known to man! If you have left over corned beef, I highly suggest you make this...it will complete you. Or, if you're like me, it will complete your marriage.

I originally came across this sandwich on pinterest and my mouth immediately began to water. To be honest with you, I didn't even make the traditional St. Patrick's Day corned beef and cabbage, I just bought the corned beef to make this! The original recipe grilled the onions in Guinness, but I used our favorite stout that comes from a local brewery here in San Diego called Stone Brewery.

5. Place the slice of cheese over all the ingredients and close the sandwich with the other slice.
