Tips:
- Use high-quality ground beef. Opt for a leaner ground beef, such as 80/20, to prevent the meatballs from becoming too greasy.
- Season the meatballs well. A combination of garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper is a classic choice. You can also add other spices or herbs to taste.
- Don't overmix the meatball mixture. Overmixing can make the meatballs tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Form the meatballs into uniform balls. This will help them cook evenly.
- Brown the meatballs before simmering them. This will help to develop their flavor and prevent them from falling apart.
- Use a good-quality sauerkraut. Look for sauerkraut that is made with real cabbage and has a tangy flavor.
- Don't skip the Swiss cheese. Swiss cheese is a classic ingredient in Reuben sandwiches, and it adds a delicious richness to the meatballs.
- Serve the meatballs on slider buns with your favorite toppings. Classic toppings include Thousand Island dressing, sauerkraut, and Swiss cheese.
