Reuben Burger

For the Reuben burger:

Add the ground beef, ground pork, chopped corned beef, egg, salt and pepper to a large bowl. Mix with your hands until thoroughly combined. Patty up the burgers. Heat a cast iron skillet to medium high heat (you can also cook these on the grill). Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side.

Top with sliced Swiss cheese. I love cheese, so I used 2 slices per burger. When the burgers are finished cooking, let rest for a few minutes. The burgers will still appear slightly pink in the center. Don’t worry, they’re done—it’s just the corned beef causing the pink hue. While the burgers rest, heat the sauerkraut. Place your lovely burgers on a toasted kaiser roll. Smear the top roll with a generous amount of thousand island dressing and pile high with sauerkraut.

For the thousand island dressing:

Combine garlic, mayonnaise, chili sauce, ketchup, onion, relish, salt and pepper in a medium bowl and stir. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Trust me, you’ll never go back to the store bought dressing.
