Paddy Rolls

The Reuben sandwich would have to be on my list of favorite pub foods. Yes I have a list.  You may find this strange, however I have never been able to narrow things down to just one that I like more than all the rest, therefore I have a list. A while back on a visit to a neighbor hood pub, I was pleased to discover a new appetizer on their menu called Paddy Rolls.

Basically a Reuben sandwich a la egg roll. So after sampling the dish, I added it to my favorites list, and vowed to make some the next time I cooked a corned beef.  Well as luck would have it, I recently found myself in possession of some left over corned beef, so I decided it was the perfect time to try my hand at this dish. I am happy to tell you, they were easy to prepare and absolutely as delicious as the ones I so enjoyed at the pub. I will definitely have to add these to my list of favorite game day treats.

Cooks Notes

This is a great use for left over corned beef. Pastrami would also very work well.
