Corned Beef Grilled Cheese

This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my disclosure policy. There is no more perfect grilled cheese for St. Patrick’s Day than Corned Beef Grilled Cheese. A stack of salty corned beef, topped with sweet caramelized onions, and gooey melted cheese- Yum! This is perhaps the best way to eat corned beef. Can you disagree? Type Of Bread To Use I didn’t even mention the crispy pumpernickel bread. What is it about pumpernickel bread that makes such a great hot sandwich? Note: Instead of pumpernickel bread, you can use marble rye or rye bread. The onions are cooked in beer and flavored with a little Worcestershire sauce, mustard, and a few caraway seeds. Type Of Corned Beef To Use You can use either leftover corned beef that you’ve cooked yourself, or a deli-sliced corned beef. You’ll need about 1/2 a pound to make 4 sandwiches. It reminds me a little of my all time favorite sandwich – the Reuben. If you really wanted to go with the Irish theme, you could always add some sautéed cabbage to this Corned Beef Grilled Cheese. The onion/corned beef mixture can be made up to 24 hours in advance. Refrigerate in an airtight container until needed and then warm in the microwave before forming the sandwiches.
