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.
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 2 medium onions
- 1 cup stout (dark beer)
- 2 cups corned beef cooked
- 1 cup sauerkraut
- 4 slices cheddar cheese (I used this awesome chili pepper aged cheddar)
- 8 slices rye bread
- Dijon mustard and mayonnaise
-
Stout Caramelized Onion, Corned Beef, and Sauerkraut Sandwich
-
Finely slice your onions and cook until tender in a heated oiled skillet for about 7 minutes. Add your stout and allow to simmer and evaporate.
-
Spread some mayonnaise and mustard on the rye slices.
-
Place ¼ of the beef, ¼ of the sauerkraut, and some grilled onions on one slice.
-
Place the slice of cheese over all the ingredients and close the sandwich with the other slice.
-
Grill the sandwiches (like you would a grilled cheese sandwich) for about 3 minutes in a well-greased hot pan.
-
Sit back and enjoy with the rest of the bottle of stout!!

Great Post! Mr. Fed Up and I really do bond over good meals...but at the same time we also battle over one's we have different thoughts about.
I love stinky cheese, while my wife is not a fan...this particular dish I made one night almost got me kicked out of the house:

Lol looks like we have the same sort of relationship! Sorry Mrs. Fed Up, I am going to side with Mr. Fed Up here. 🙂
Mr. Fed Up
I am going to need to look for that Cheddar you mention...I have been trying to find a nice strong Cheddar...I just bought some 2 year aged Hook's cheddar from a specialty shop. I have high expectations.

My husband would love this sandwich...and would love me for making it. I'll have to add this to the menu.
