REUBEN SANDWICH MEATBALLS



Reuben Sandwich Meatballs image

I was invited to an Oktoberfest party and wanted to bring some little open-faced Reuban sandwiches but thought they might become soggy while in transit, so I thought maybe I could use the Reuban ingredients to make a Reuban meatball instead. These turned out great! I tried two different versions. This is the first version. For the second version, I added the breadcrumbs into the meat mixture instead of breading & frying, then rolled the mixture into tight balls, froze them on a cookie sheet, then baked them. Both versions were loved by my group, but I think the fried version was more popular. I think the fried version is a little more like the method used to cook Weiner Schnitzel, so maybe a little more Austrian but not quite so healthy. Serve with Thousand Island salad dressing for dipping. The men in our group really loved this recipe so I intend to use this for our next Super Bowl party.

REUBEN BALLS



Reuben Balls image

Categories     Bread     Sandwich     Beef     Side     Roast

Yield Makes about thirty 1 1/2-inch meatballs

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound corned beef, finely diced
1 pound ground pork
1 1/4 cups sauerkraut, roughly chopped and squeezed to remove as much liquid as possible
5 large eggs
3/4 pound swiss cheese, grated
2 slices fresh rye bread, finely diced
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon caraway seeds

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450°F. Drizzle the olive oil into a 9 × 13-inch baking dish and use your hand to evenly coat the entire surface. Set aside.
  • Combine the corned beef, ground pork, sauerkraut, eggs, Swiss cheese, bread, salt, and caraway seeds in a large mixing bowl and mix by hand until thoroughly incorporated.
  • Roll the mixture into round, golf ball-size meatballs (about 1 1/2 inches), making sure to pack the meat firmly. Place the balls in the prepared baking dish, being careful to line them up snugly and in even rows vertically and horizontally to form a grid. The meatballs should be touching one another.
  • Roast for 20 minutes, or until the meatballs are firm and cooked through. A meat thermometer inserted into the center of a meatball should read 165°F.
  • Allow the meatballs to cool for 5 minutes in the baking dish before serving.
