REUBEN CALZONES

I love a good Reuben, so I tried the fillings in a pizza pocket instead of on bread. This hand-held dinner is a big winner at our house.

—Nickie Frye, Evansville, IN

Takes: 30 min. • Makes: 4 servings

1 tube (13.8 oz.) refrigerated pizza crust

4 slices Swiss cheese

1 cup sauerkraut, rinsed and well drained

1/2 lb. sliced cooked corned beef

Thousand Island salad dressing

1. Preheat oven to 400°. On a lightly floured surface, unroll the pizza crust dough and pat into a 12-in. square. Cut into four squares. Layer a fourth of the cheese, sauerkraut and corned beef diagonally over half of each square to within 1/2 in. of edges. Fold a corner over the filling to the opposite corner, forming a triangle; press edges with a fork to seal. Place calzones on greased baking sheets.

2. Bake until calzones are golden brown, 15-18 minutes. Serve with salad dressing.
