Reuben Hush Puppies Stuffed with Swiss Cheese
With all the flavors of a Reuben sandwich, you’ll be tempted to munch on these appetizers all day long – also perfect as a St. Patrick's Day appetizer or a way to use up leftover corned beef.
A Reuben (corned beef, Swiss, and sauerkraut on rye) is a mighty fine sandwich. But when you don’t have enough corned beef left over for sandwiches, these hush puppies are your ticket.
Just mix the batter together, then stuff a scoopful with a cube of Swiss before frying. Be sure the cheese is fully covered with batter so it doesn’t ooze into the oil. And serve while they’re hot!
