Butter bread - put butter side down on griddle
Put corned beef on griddle to get hot. Spray with a bit of water
Put one slice of cheese on each piece of bread (off-set so every bite gets some cheese)

Mix kraut and chili sauce together and put portion on griddle to heat through
Put corned beef on top of Spcial Thousand Island Dressing. Top with kraut and put other slice of bread on top. Grill until hot and cheese has melted.
Cut, plate and ENJOY!
