Ingredients
Corned Beef
For this recipe, you will need 1 cup of finely chopped corned beef. This savory meat gives the Reuben balls their iconic flavor. Choose high-quality corned beef to ensure the best taste.
Sauerkraut
Use ½ cup of drained and rinsed sauerkraut for an authentic touch. This ingredient adds tanginess and moisture to the mixture while enhancing the overall flavor profile.
Swiss Cheese
Incorporate ½ cup of shredded Swiss cheese into your mixture. The creamy texture of Swiss cheese melts beautifully in the oven, adding richness and depth to each bite.
Bread Crumbs
You will need 1 cup of plain bread crumbs to help bind the ingredients together. They provide crunch and structure to the Reuben balls as they bake.
Egg
One large egg is necessary for binding all the ingredients together. It helps create a cohesive mixture that holds its shape during cooking.
Spices
Season your mixture with 1 teaspoon of garlic powder and 1 teaspoon of black pepper for added flavor. These spices enhance the taste without overpowering the classic ingredients.
