For an extra layer of flavor, try grilling the rye bread with butter before assembling the sandwiches. If you prefer a less tangy flavor, rinse the sauerkraut before adding it to the slow cooker. Experiment with different types of cheese, such as Gruyere or Emmental, for a unique twist. Don't overcrowd the toaster oven; toast the sandwiches in batches for even melting. Leftover corned beef can be used in salads, omelets, or even corned beef hash.
