Help, my Corned Beef sandwich had no taste?

What can I do to make a corned beef sandwich tasty?

After St Patty's day I got some sandwich rolls and toasted them, put on a slice of swiss cheese and back in the toster oven to melt. I put on some low-fat Thousand Island dressing and thin-sliced corned beef. (I was trying to mimic a Hot Pastrami but with Corned beef.)

It was .. tasteless.

So I added some Saracha pepper sauce and while it was now spicy - it tasted like Saracha.

I went for some mustard and found some Frenches and this helped, but it was not great.

I wanted a sweet taste like Hot Pastrami from Togos, richness from the cheese and some heat or flavor. I got none of that.

What could I have done to pump-up the flavor? Sweet and hot pickles? Roasted Red Peppers?

Is there a favorite sauce I should mix up and squirt onto a sandwich? What should I do to add flavor?

Update:

EDIT:

I was trying to avoid sourkraut since stomach flu was making me a bit sensitive.

The white rolls may have been a mistake. And the Boars Head Pepper sauce sounds good.

Thanks for all the answers.

    I add Sauerkraut, Swiss Cheese with ground brown mustard. Oh, yes and Pumpernickel bread. No thousand Island dressing.

    The best way to get the flavor from a Corned Beef Sandwich or Hot Pastrami sandwich is to eat it on rye bread and just use mustard, don't muck up the flavor of the meat with all those other strong interfereing flavors. Then you might be able to taste the real great deli sandwich like it is supposed to taste.

    I agree - Corned Beef on rye, (maybe a little sauerkraut) with spicy brown deli mustard. Yum! And a nice Kosher pickle on the side.

    There's a reason that it's a classic the way it is.

    Don't worry about all that fancy stuff. Go for the classic two pieces of white bread and butter with corned beef and brown sauce. You can't beat that!

    With spicy brown mustard on whole wheat or rye bread, that's about the best way to eat it.
