Place 1-2 slices of swiss cheese on 1 slice of your bread. Add the corned beef and some coleslaw on it. Toast or make like a grill cheese. Can also use as a penni. Serve with dill pickles and chips. I love Walmart's deli Corn Beef.

I love to also put coleslaw on my bbq sandwiches. Most people think this is terrible but it is so good.
