Reuben Pizza


Ingredients for the filling:

2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese

1 cup shredded Swiss cheese

1+1/2 cups chipped corned beef, chopped; OR 1 (16-ounce) can corned beef, crumbled

1 (15-ounce) can sauerkraut, slightly drained

Ingredients for the pizza:

2 (16-inch square or round) pre-baked pizza shells

2 cups shredded Swiss cheese

2 tsp. caraway seeds

Directions to make the filling:
Place the ingredients for filling into a slow cooker. Cover, and cook on low setting fior about 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until ready to assemble the pizza.

Directions to make the pizza:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Spoon the hot filling onto each shell, and spread filling evenly to cover dough to edges. Sprinkle with the cheese and caraway seeds (season with caraway seed to your taste). Bake for 14 minutes (or 7 minutes on each rack, to bake evenly). Cool for 10 minutes before serving. The filling will be very hot.

Note: Variation: Instead of using this filling for pizza, it also can be a warm dip for rye bread pieces. Hollow out a round rye loaf, and use the insides for dipping pieces.
