Roller Coaster Reuben Burgers Recipes

THE WURST REUBEN BURGERS

Steps:

• Heat medium skillet over medium heat, add the butter and when melted add the onions and cook until soft and tender, 20 minutes. When done, add a splash of water and stir in the mustard.
• Add sauerkraut to a small pot and keep warm over low heat.
• Combine sour cream, ketchup and relish in a small bowl and reserve.
• In a large bowl, combine the meat, spices, parsley, vinegar and salt and pepper, to taste. Form 4 patties, thinner at middle and thicker at edges for more even cooking and to prevent burgers from bulging at the middle. Heat the oil in nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook patties 5 minutes on each side. Melt the cheese over the patties the last 2 minutes of cooking, under foil tent.
• To serve, pile the onions on the bun bottoms and top with a leaf of lettuce, cheese wurst burger, sauerkraut, and the sour cream sauce. Cover with the tops of the buns and serve.

FILL A ROCKET SCIENTIST'S EMPTY STOMACH REUBEN BURGERS

Steps:

• Set grill to medium low (on my grill this is around 300 degrees Fahrenheit)
• Russian Dressing:
• Mix together mayonnaise, ketchup, chili sauce, and horseradish. Finely chop the pickle and add to dressing. Stir in parsley. Refrigerate until ready for use.
• Mix together both meats, the egg as a binder, the Worcestershire sauce, allspice, cloves and mustard along with desired amount of salt and pepper. I prefer grinding my own allspice and cloves and it takes just a couple of each. It is important not to over work the meat and have it get tough.
• Divide the meat into 6 (1/3 pound) burgers about 1 inch thick and press the centers in to prevent them from balling up on the grill.
• Place on the grill approximately 5 minutes per side depending on desired doneness.
• Begin warming the sauerkraut in a separate pan.
• The bread should go on the grill after turning the burgers, at a low temperature area so they will toast but not burn.
• Top the burger with cheese in the last 2 minutes of burger cooking time.
• Remove burgers and bread; spread each slice of bread with Russian dressing and top with 1/4 cup of sauerkraut. Cover with remaining bread.
• Serve with coleslaw, applesauce, and a cold beer.

ROLLER COASTER REUBEN BURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Heat a large skillet with the oil over medium heat and saute the onions until translucent. Remove to a large bowl and let cool.
• Add all the remaining ingredients, except the cheese and BBQ sauce, to the bowl and combine well. Liberally spray a baking sheet with cooking spray Take half of the ground beef mixture and form into a loaf on the baking sheet.
• Lay the strips of cheese on top of the meatloaf, then cover with the other half of the meat mixture. When finished it should look like a block of meatloaf.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the internal temperature registers140 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. This should take about 1 hour (but please check constantly as some ovens cook faster then others). About 5 minutes before the meatloaf is ready remove from oven and coat with the BBQ sauce. Return to the oven until nicely glazed.
• Remove meatloaf from the oven to a cutting board and allow to cool. Cut the meatloaf into 1-inch thick slices and put each slice between 2 pieces of rye bread. At this point you can add, tomato, lettuce and pickle, if you like.
• Cook's Note: I like to heat a skillet up and fry the sandwich before serving.
