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.

Conclusion:

Reuben meatball sliders are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can be customized to your liking.
