The pastrami ought to be liberal, giving a good, exquisite base, while the sauerkraut adds a tart differentiation that slices through the lavishness of the meat and cheddar.

This dressing integrates every one of the flavors, adding a somewhat sweet, tart component that supplements different fixings impeccably. Barbecue it somewhat more to guarantee everything is hot and the cheddar is completely liquefied. This last step unites every one of the parts in an amicable, gooey, tasty wreck.
