Ingredients

1 egg
1 small onion, finely chopped
2/3 cup soft bread crumbs
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 cup cooked rice
1-1/2 pounds lean ground beef
2 cups sauerkraut, rinsed and well drained
1 to 2 teaspoons caraway seeds
1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
1/2 cup Thousand Island salad dressing
1/4 cup shredded Swiss cheese
Rye bread, optional

Directions

In a bowl, combine the egg, onion, bread crumbs, parsley, salt and pepper. Stir in rice. Crumble beef over the mixture and mix well. Shape into 15 balls. Place meatballs on a greased rack in a shallow baking pan. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 15-20 minutes or until browned; drain.
Transfer meatballs to an ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Arrange sauerkraut over meatballs; sprinkle with caraway seeds. Combine soup and salad dressing; spread over the top.
Cover and bake for 35-45 minutes or until meat is no longer pink. Uncover; sprinkle with Swiss cheese. Bake 10 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Serve with rye bread if desired.
