I really love corned beef and cabbage, my recipe for that is also posted in my recipe box along with instructions on how to brine (corn) your own brisket, however I just like nothing more than making Reuben Sammy's with the left over corned beef. Once again if you have the time and room in your fridge try brineing your own well worth it for the flavor. I believe the cast iron skillet is the key to success with this sandwich. Also the slow cook, may not be the traditional way but it comes out perfect 100% of the time. Serve with Thousand Island or Russian Dressing on side.
