(50,590 posts)Heat your oven to 350.
Make a sauce from mayo, ketchup and horseradish. Put the mayo in a coverable dish, add ketchup until it looks right to you, then horseradish, fresh-ground pepper and celery salt until it tastes right. DO NOT, whatever you do, put Thousand Island dressing on this. That's something Donald Trump would do.
Lightly toast two slices of rye bread.
Put a quarter-pound of the best pastrami you can get your hands on into a sieve for a few minutes to drain. Only a Trump supporter uses Buddig for this. Once it stops dripping, remove it and put a forkful of genuine imported-from-Germany sauerkraut in to drain.
Once everything has stopped dripping, spread sauce on both pieces of bread. Put a slice of good-quality Swiss cheese (Sargento is okay, but I usually buy Tillamook; sliced at the deli counter would be better) on each piece of bread. Put the meat on one piece of bread. Put the kraut on top of that, then the other piece of bread. Wrap in aluminum foil and stick in the oven for 20 minutes. Remove and eat before the thing has a chance to get cold.
