I made this for my family last night and it was wonderful. Looked nice when it was cut, tasty and different from our usual dinner gatherings. Next time I would like a bit more corned beef flavor in the meat mixture. Certainly will make again.

My Mother made this recipe but using Russian Dressing. Either way was fantastic. Great for St Paddy's day leftovers. (Or anytime)Add a layer of corned beef in between the swiss cheese and the sauerkraut!
