Help with a recipe

I was recently reminiscing about these appetizers I had last year.

 

They were mini rye toasties with some sort of dip or spread on them. Tasted just like a reuben. Obviously normal ingredients apply to some degree: sauer kraut, 1000, corned beef, etc

 

Anyone ever made these or know what else that spread had in it?

3 (2.5 ounce) packages thin sliced packaged Corned Beef-(I would use Deli Corned Beef and not the Packaged Corn Beef)

3/4 lb. Shredded Swiss Cheese

1-(16-oz) Can Sauerkraut, drained and minced

1-(16-oz.) Bottle Thousand Island Salad Dressing

 

Directions:

 

1.Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

2.In a medium bowl, mix corned beef, Swiss Cheese, Sauerkraut and Thousand Island Salad Dressing.

3.Transfer the mixture to a 10-in. pie dish and bake in the preheated oven 30 to 45 minutes, until hot and bubbly.

 

Spread on crackers of your choice.

Roxy, I presume you would mince the corned beef before mixing with the other ingredients?

[Roxy]

I would either mince it or chop the corned beef in small pieces. I would definetly use deli corned beef and not the packaged, I haven't made this..it got good reviews.

The thing about these was that the topping was very congealed/thick. Almost the consistency of a bean or onion dip.

 

Would the time in the oven do this? I would seem that even if the kraut was well drained, the 1000 + kraut would be pretty runny.

 

I was brainstorming what they might have used, but the only thing I can figure was maybe something like cream cheese, or that they cooked down the mixture to thicken it up before baking.
