Notes

Thousand Island Dressing: You can use store-bought Thousand Island dressing instead of making your own.

Prepping In Advance: Cook the corned beef, coleslaw, and green onions as directed and store them in the refrigerator. When you’re ready to serve, reheat the mixture in a skillet, add the sauerkraut and caraway seeds, then top with cheese and melt as described. The dressing can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge in a separate airtight container.

Refrigerator Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Ideally, store the dressing separately.

Reheating Instructions: To reheat, warm the mixture in a skillet over medium heat or microwave it in 30-second increments until warmed through. Add dressing on top after reheating the bowls.
