Servings: 6
Ingredients
  • 1 pound ground beef, chuck preferred
  • 1/2 cup shredded swiss
  • 1/4 cup toasted rye bread, processed into fine breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup parsley leaves, chopped
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vegetable oil
  • 1 cup sauerkraut, drained
  • 1/2 cup 1000 island dressing
  • 6 slider buns, buttered and griddled
Directions
Step 1 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Step 2 Mix the beef, cheese, breadcrumbs, caraway seeds, salt, pepper, eggs, and parsley in a bowl until uniform, however, not overworked. Scoop out a 1/4 cup of the mix and roll right into a ball. Repeat to use all the meat.
Step 3 Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium heat add the oil. Fry the first side of the meatballs, in batches, if necessary, until golden and crusty, 7 to 8 minutes. Flip and place in the oven to complete cooking, until no pinker in the center, 10 to 15 more minutes.
Step 4 Sandwich Build: Heat the kraut in a little saucepot and mix in the 1000 island. Place a meatball on underneath slider bun, top with the kraut/sauce mixture, top, and skewer. Enjoy with all of your closest & most respected friends.
