"I love corned beef and these are easier to make than a bunch of sandwiches. I don't know which magazine is cut up in my recipe box--I'm not that organized--darn."

Awesome! My daughter, who was visiting for dinner, said "Mom this is outstanding." Easy to make, wonderful flavors. I left out the caraway seeds because we don't really care for the flavor. I cooked a corned beef brisket and chopped it up instead of using canned corned beef. When forming the meat mixture around the sauerkraut it wasn't really coming together (I probably left it too thick - but it was good that way) and so I wrapped it all up except for a small opening on top. I then topped that space with some thinly sliced corned beef. I then added a layer of dressing (I used my own "Recipe #215010" before placing the cheese triangles on top and then served more dressing on the side. This is absolutely a keeper we will make it again and again I am sure. Thank you Dienia for posting this recipe!
