Crispy, flavorful Reuben Balls served with a zesty and spicy Thousand Island dipping sauce, perfect as a portable snack or appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb corned beef, finely diced
  • 1 cup chopped sauerkraut, squeezed dry
  • 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
  • 2 slices rye bread, finely diced
  • 5 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
  • Salt to taste
  • For the Spicy Thousand Island Dipping Sauce:
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 3 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce (adjust to taste)
  • ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a cake pop pan or mini muffin pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, diced rye bread, eggs, olive oil, caraway seeds, and salt. Mix until well blended.
  3. Spoon the mixture into the prepared pan, filling each cup just over full. Place the top half of the pan and clamp to seal if using a cake pop pan.
  4. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the balls are cooked through and golden brown. A toothpick inserted should come out clean.
  5. While baking, prepare the dipping sauce by whisking together mayonnaise, ketchup, pickle relish, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and red onion in a small bowl. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  6. Remove Reuben Balls from the oven and let cool slightly before removing from the pan.
  7. Serve warm with the spicy Thousand Island dipping sauce.

Notes

Ensure the Reuben Balls are evenly coated and packed firmly for the best texture. Adjust the hot sauce in the dipping sauce to suit your spice preference. For a healthier option, bake instead of frying and use low-fat dairy products.
