Instructions
Start by mixing that finely chopped corned beef with sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, mayo, ketchup, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce in a big bowl. You gotta get everything blended so each bite has flavor. Check out our Easy Thai Baked Chicken Meatballs recipe for another quick protein-packed dinner.
Next shape the mixture into balls. Don’t be shy, make ’em good size so you get juicy centers. Roll each ball in those breadcrumbs till fully coated for that crispy outer shell.
Heat your oil in a deep fryer or heavy skillet to 375°F (190°C). You need it real hot to get a golden brown crust quick.
Before frying, carefully place the balls in the hot oil. Fry ’em until golden and crispy, then drain them on paper towels. You’ll hear that satisfying crisp almost right away.
For your Spicy Thousand Island Dipping Sauce, mix mayo, ketchup, sriracha, pickle relish, garlic powder, and onion powder in a bowl. It’s the perfect creamy, spicy dip action for your balls.
