Reuben Burger

The Reuben Burger is a hearty burger with all the flavors of a Reuben sandwich; corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese and Thousand Island dressing. This is for burger lovers and Reuben lovers, and everybody in between!

It is officially Burger Month, so you’ll be getting some pretty delicious things from me over the next four weeks.

Some people believe a Reuben sandwich is perfect exactly the way it is.

Those people are adorable.

Because once you pile those same flavors onto a juicy burger — corned beef, sauerkraut, melty cheese, and a tangy Thousand Island-style sauce — something magical happens.

This Reuben burger recipe takes everything that makes the classic deli favorite so good and turns it into a messy, knife-and-fork burger situation that’s completely worth it.

The burger starts with ground sirloin patty topped with white cheddar, topped with another bun, topped with chopped corned beef, which gives it that unmistakable Reuben flavor before the toppings even hit the bun. From there it’s stacked with sauerkraut, creamy dressing, and caraway seeds for the full deli-meets-backyard-burger experience.

If you love a good Reuben sandwich, this burger version might actually ruin the original for you.

Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

It’s the best of both worlds – a juicy burger and the world’s best sandwich ever. Corned beef, sirloin beef, homemade Thousand Island dressing, sauerkraut and white cheddar.

What Is a Reuben Burger?

A Reuben burger is exactly what it sounds like — a burger inspired by the classic deli sandwich. Traditional Reubens typically include corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, and Russian or Thousand Island dressing served on rye bread.

In this version, those same bold flavors are layered onto a burger like a double decker for a hearty mash-up of two comfort food favorites.

Why This Reuben Burger Works

• • Corned beef in the patty = deeper flavor

  • Caraway seeds give it that classic deli taste

  • Sauerkraut adds brightness

  • Thousand Island ties everything together
