Best 6 Rrs Reuben Balls Recipes

R&R'S REUBEN BALLS

Steps:

• Pour the canned sauerkraut into a colander, "drain" and "lightly rinse" under running water. (If using fresh kraut, you may not need to rinse, your choice). Using your hands, "squeeze" as much water out as possible. Place kraut on a cutting board, pat it "dry" with paper towels, and chop it up finely. (It is very important to do the "drain, rinse, squeeze and dry", otherwise they will not cook properly or be too tasty)!
• Crumble the canned corned beef into a large bowl, add the 2 cheeses, chopped up sauerkraut and dried onions. Using your hands, mix (smoosh) it all together (like your making a meatloaf). Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for at least 1 hour, to let mixture get firm and the dried onions to soften.
• In the meantime, place 3 plates and 1 bowl on the counter to make an assembly station.
• Plate #1: flour, Bowl: milk, Plate #2: dried bread crumbs, Plate #3: just somewhere for your balls to hang out while waiting for the fry.
• When the meat has been chilled for about an hour and has firmed up a bit, start making BALLS! I usually try to do 1" size. Roll some in your hands, toss 'em in the flour, dunk them in the milk, roll thru the bread crumbs and set them on Plate #3! Easy peasy, but messy! Just be sure that each of these steps are completely covering your balls.
• This is where you can choose to fry them right away, or put them on cookie sheet and place in freezer for an hour, and let them freeze thru. Then toss them all in zip-lock baggies to use as a "when needed" basis. Just be sure to let them rest on the counter from freezer to fry (DO NOT try to defrost in microwave).
• Frying: Heat up the oil over med-high heat.The oil should be hot enough to make a pinch of the flour we used bubble. (I never use a thermo, I always just guess at the temperature. One sacrificial ball goes in at the start of the fry)! Depending on the size of your pot of oil, DO NOT over-crowd it, or the oil temp will drop, and you will end up with very greasy balls (that is why I test one first). Make batches at a time. They will stay hot for a very long time. Fry for approx 1 - 2 mins, turning with a slotted spoon, until the coating gets browned (DO NOT burn them, they will taste "icky" then)! Place on a paper towel lined plate to drain.
• I serve these with cups of Thousand Island dressing (or Russian) for a dipping sauce, but I don't eat the balls with either. Plain is fine by me! I hope you enjoy these as much as we do.

REUBEN BALLS

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.
