Directions

1 Heat oven to 350°F. Lightly spray 24 regular-size muffin cups (2 3/4x1 1/4 inches) with Crisco® Original No-Stick Cooking Spray.
2 Cut each meatball in half; set aside. In small bowl, mix sauerkraut, cheeses, dressing, salt and 1 teaspoon of the caraway seed until well blended.
3 Unroll both cans of crescent dough; separate into 8 rectangles. Firmly press perforations to seal. Cut each rectangle into 3 equal pieces. Press each piece into 4x2-inch rectangle. Gently press 1 rectangle on bottom and up side of each muffin cup, leaving both ends hanging over side of cup.
4 Place 1 meatball half, flat side down, in center of each cup. Spoon 2 rounded teaspoons sauerkraut mixture onto each meatball. Bring up ends of dough over filling; pinch tops to seal, leaving 2 small openings on sides to vent steam. Brush egg over dough. Sprinkle with remaining 1 teaspoon caraway seed.
5 Bake 12 to 18 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately remove from pan to cooling rack; cool 5 minutes. Serve warm.

Use crescent sheet type rolls instead of dinner rolls and whole "cocktail size" meatballs.

Used the "sheet" type crescent rolls and whole "cocktail size" meatballs. Then followed receipe with all other ingredients. Everyone at our neighborhood gathering loved them. Great combination of flavors. Thanks for the recipe.

Yes, my sister froze them (bake until just golden brown, cool, wrap/store in freezer container). Weeks later, she thawed in microwave (was hungry! couldn't wait to thaw in refrig), then finished baking in the toaster oven. We LOVED them!!!
