Instructions

Notes
- You can prepare the corned beef ahead of time to save prep time on the day of serving.
- Ensure sauerkraut is well drained to avoid sogginess in the bites.
- For a crispier base, lightly toast the rye rounds before adding toppings.
- These bites are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated briefly in the oven if needed.
- Feel free to adjust the quantity of thousand island dressing according to taste preference.
