Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine chopped corned beef, well-drained sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, cream cheese, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until evenly distributed.
- Transfer the mixture to the refrigerator and allow it to chill for 30-45 minutes.
- Use a cookie scoop or your hands to portion out the mixture and roll it into 1 to 1.5-inch balls, placing them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Prepare your dredging station with flour, beaten eggs, and panko breadcrumbs.
- Roll each ball in the flour, dip into the eggs, and coat with panko breadcrumbs.
- Heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C) and fry the balls in small batches for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
- Remove them with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, sweet pickle relish, hot sauce, smoked paprika, Worcestershire sauce, and minced onion.
- Serve the hot, crispy Reuben Balls alongside the zesty Thousand Island dip.

Notes
Chill filling for easier handling and avoid excess moisture with well-drained sauerkraut.
