REUBEN RODS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Grease cookie sheets.
• Finely chop the corned beef and mix with the sauerkraut, Swiss cheese and mustard.

• Spoon about 3 tablespoons of the meat/cheese mixture along the short side of the dough in a strip staying within about 1/2 inch of the edges.
• Pick up the side of the dough that has the meat/cheese strip and roll it up into a cylinder, folding in the sides as you are rolling.
• Place seam side down on the greased cookie sheet.
• Score crosswise to make 4 rods.
• (Score does not mean that you should cut all the way through the roll, but only through the top layers of phyllo).
• Repeat with remaining phyllo and filling.
• Brush rods with olive oil.
• Bake in preheated oven for 13-15 minutes until browned.
• Cut each roll into 4 rods.
• Serve warm.
