Add two pieces of swiss cheese and two-four slices of meat to one of the buttered bread halves. Add one dollop of the sauerkraut mixture. Place other bread half on sandwich. Brown one side in pan and turn. Brown other side and then turn every ten seconds until cheese is melted. Cut diagonally and serve. Makes four -six sandwiches.
