    corned beef sandwiches with slaw

    Not sure what to do with all that leftover Corned Beef? How about this Corned Beef Sandwich recipe topped with Cabbage Slaw. This is the only way to make a corned beef sandwich in my opinion.

    I love to make my corned beef sandwiches on toasted Rye bread. The combination of flavors is spot on. That being said, feel free to use whatever kind of bread you prefer or have on hand. If you've never had a corned beef sandwich on Rye bread you have no idea what you are missing.

    Mustard is a must when eating corned beef. You can use whatever kind of mustard you prefer but I'm including something a little different on the recipe card. Totally optional but I really like to cut my dijon mustard with a little brown sugar.

    I'm also including a simple slaw recipe to top your sandwich with. I figured since you probably have leftover cabbage from when you made the corned beef, why not use it up and make a nice coleslaw. Again, if this is not your thing just don't make it. You can easily make the cabbage slaw wetter by adjusting the amount of greek yogurt you use.

    So what's the difference between this corned beef sandwich and a Reuben sandwich? They both call for Rye bread and thinly sliced corned beef but a Reuben sandwich uses Russian dressing instead of mustard, has swiss cheese on it and uses sauerkraut instead of cabbage slaw.

      I just love ❤️ Corned beef. It is one of my favourite meats. I decided to make this sandwich and include the coleslaw as I had never done this before. I found that this method made the sandwich a perfect match and just loved it. I will always make my sandwich this way in the future.
