Servings: 18 to 20 Reuben stuffed matzo balls
Ingredients:
1 box Lipton Matzo Ball Mix
4 eggs
2 tablespoon vegetable oil
6 oz. corned beef
2 eggs, whisked
1 cup corn flake crumbs
Sauerkraut for serving
Russian dressing for serving
Directions:
Prepare matzo balls by blending 4 eggs and 2 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large sized bowl. Add both packets of matzo ball mix and stir with fork until well combined. Refrigerate for 10 minutes. Slice corned beef into small pieces. Reserve 1/4 cup corned beef and thinly dice for garnish. Combine remaining corned beef with matzo ball mixture. Using a small cookie scooper, scoop out matzo balls and using wet hands roll mixture to form small balls. Dip balls in whisked eggs then coat in corn flake crumbs. Heat up a frying up with a small amount of canola oil and fry on all sides until browned. Flip matzo balls over so all sides are golden brown. Serve with kraut, Russian dressing and remaining diced corned beef.
