These sliders put a twist on the classic Reuben by swapping in bison, a leaner protein that delivers bold flavor without the heaviness of traditional ground beef. With bison – you’re in luck! If you’re used to the standard beef meatball, bison offers a subtle richness that holds up beautifully against the punchy notes of sauerkraut, caraway, and Swiss.

Each meatball packs in the key flavors of a Reuben sandwich while staying juicy and tender thanks to the sauerkraut and cheese folded right into the mix. The toasted marble rye breadcrumbs help bind everything together and add that hint of rye you expect in a Reuben. Once baked and tucked into slider buns with melty cheese and Thousand Island dressing, they make for a crowd-pleasing bite that’s easy to prep and even easier to serve – whether you’re feeding family, or guests, or just looking for a change from the usual.
