Everyone loves a good Reuben, and these Reuben Meatballs are the ultimate fun twist! Loaded with creamy Swiss cheese, crisp sauerkraut, and tangy Thousand Island dressing… they’re hot, cheesy, and SO delicious!

I partnered with Farm Rich to bring you this recipe. All opinions are my own.

When it comes to game day appetizers, you can never go wrong with the classics. But when you do the classics with a twist? They’re guaranteed to be even BETTER.

Case in point: these Reuben Meatballs. Made with Farm Rich Homestyle Meatballs, sauerkraut, shredded Swiss cheese, creamy Thousand Island dressing, cream of onion soup, and a sprinkle of caraway seeds, they have all the flavors of the Reuben sandwich we all know and love… in a deliciously gooey, cheesy appetizer! And when you serve them with rye chips or cocktail rye bread? It’s basically just like eating a Reuben. Only so much better, and in bite size form.

I seriously love Farm Rich products and I always keep my freezer stocked with them. There are so many snacks to choose from, like Mozzarella Sticks, Mozzarella Bites, Jalapeño Peppers, Potato Skins, Meatballs, breaded veggies and more. It’s no wonder they’re one of America’s favorite frozen snack and appetizer brands!

They’re the perfect snacks for game day and also make a great addition to your favorite dinner, or as an ingredient in a comforting recipe, like this Italian Mac and Cheese! No matter how you enjoy them, the bottom line is they’re quick, easy, and delicious… and guaranteed to become some of your favorites, too!

🧀 Ingredients

The best thing about this recipe is that it starts with the BEST frozen meatballs, which saves so much time and makes this recipe not only delicious, but also incredibly easy to make. I used Farm Rich Flame-Broiled Homestyle Meatballs, made with quality ground beef and pork and 11 grams of protein per serving. They can be found online or in the freezer section at grocery stores using the Farm Rich product locator. I purchased mine at Walmart.

🌶 Recipe variations

We love how simple this recipe is and the fact that it remains true to the classic Reuben flavors. As with any recipe, of course, there are always ways to “make it your own”. Here are some of our favorite ideas:

Add 1/2 cup sauteed onions
Add 1/2 cup finely chopped corned beef
Add 1/4 cup pickle relish for extra tanginess
Substitute 8 ounces softened cream cheese for half of the Swiss cheese
Add 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper for a spicy kick
Substitute any flavor of condensed cream soup
Serve them in a bun for a Reuben Meatball Sub

♨️ Storing & reheating

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. To reheat, transfer to an oven-safe baking dish and heat at 350° for 15-20 minutes, until cheese is melted and meatballs are hot. Leftovers can also be frozen and reheated at 350° for 45 minutes or until hot.
