Ingredients

Scale

1 cup cooked corned beef, shredded

1 cup sauerkraut, well-drained and chopped

1 cup shredded Swiss cheese

2 cups panko breadcrumbs

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Vegetable oil for frying

1/2 cup mayonnaise for dressing

1/4 cup ketchup for dressing

1 tablespoon dill pickle relish for dressing

1 teaspoon sriracha for dressing

Salt to taste for dressing

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded corned beef, chopped sauerkraut, and Swiss cheese. Mix until well combined.

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add them to the beef mixture. Mix well to hold everything together.

Sprinkle in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until evenly distributed.

Take small handfuls of the mixture and roll them into balls about the size of a golf ball, yielding around 12-15 balls.

Set up a dredging station with flour in one bowl, beaten egg in another, and panko breadcrumbs in a third.

Coat each ball in flour, dip it into the egg, and roll it in the panko breadcrumbs to ensure a good coating.

In a deep skillet or pot, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil over medium heat until ready.

Carefully add the Reuben balls in batches, frying for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown.

Using a slotted spoon, remove the crispy balls and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

While cooling, mix the mayonnaise, ketchup, pickle relish, and sriracha in a bowl, seasoning with salt to taste.

Notes

These crispy Reuben balls bring the delightful flavors of a traditional Reuben sandwich into a fun, bite-sized appetizer, perfect for gatherings or a cozy snack.
