- Cook on LOW for 7-8 hours without lifting the lid.
- Once cooked, remove the corned beef and allow it to rest in the foil for about 20 minutes.
- While resting, prepare the coleslaw dressing and mix the ingredients together in a small bowl.
- In another bowl, mix together the Russian dressing ingredients.
- Open the foiled corned beef, discard the juices, and slice the meat.
- Butter the marble rye slices and toast them in a skillet until browned.
- On the bottom piece of buttered bread, spread a layer of Russian dressing, followed by a generous portion of sliced corned beef, Swiss cheese, and coleslaw.
- Top with the remaining piece of rye, secure with toothpicks if desired, and cut in half before serving.
Notes
Feel free to adjust the amount of cabbage for a crunchier texture if desired.
To keep the coleslaw fresh, add dressing only to portions you plan to serve right away.
You can replace the Swiss cheese with your favorite cheese variety.
