  • 1/2 tsp. paprika
  • 1/4 tsp. onion powder
  • 2 tsp. hickory liquid smoke
  • 4 cups chopped cabbage
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cup shredded white onion

Instructions

  • Mix rub ingredients in a small bowl.

  • Put the wrapped corned beef in a slow cooker with the lid on, adding no water.
  • Cook on LOW for 7-8 hours without opening the lid.
  • Once cooked, remove corned beef and let it rest in the foil on a cutting board for about 20 minutes while prepping the coleslaw and dressing.
  • Mix coleslaw dressing in a small bowl, adding only a bit to keep the coleslaw crisp as you need it.
  • Prepare Russian Dressing by mixing the respective ingredients in a small bowl.
  • Open the foil wrapping of the corned beef and discard the juices if not needed.
  • Slice the corned beef and start preparing sandwiches.
  • Butter the marble rye bread and brown it in a skillet.
  • Spread the Russian dressing on the bottom slice of bread.
  • Layer on the corned beef, followed by Swiss cheese, coleslaw, and the top slice of bread.
  • Secure with toothpicks if desired, then cut in half.
  • Serve and enjoy!

Notes

For a crisp coleslaw, mix dressing with just the portion needed right before serving.
Feel free to adjust the quantity of Swiss cheese based on your preference.
If you enjoy extra flavor, add more spices to the rub based on your taste.
