Ingredients

12 sweet Hawaiian slider rolls (1 package)
1/2 cup Thousand Island dressing
8 ounces thinly sliced corned beef
1 cup sauerkraut, well-drained
8 ounces Swiss cheese, sliced
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon poppy seeds
Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cook Time: 18-20 minutes | Total Time: 30 minutes

Step 1: Preheat & Prep

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray a 9×13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Step 2: Assemble the Rolls

Without separating the individual rolls, slice the entire package of slider rolls in half horizontally with a serrated knife to create a top and bottom slab.
Place the bottom half of the rolls in the prepared baking dish. Spread the Thousand Island dressing evenly over the cut side of the bottom rolls.
Layer the sliced corned beef over the dressing, ensuring even coverage. Top evenly with the sauerkraut, then layer the Swiss cheese over the sauerkraut.
Place the top slab of rolls onto the layered filling.

Step 3: Make Butter Topping

In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, Dijon mustard, onion powder, garlic powder, and poppy seeds.
Brush the butter mixture generously over the tops of the rolls, making sure each roll is coated.

Step 4: Bake

Cover the baking dish loosely with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 3-5 minutes, until the tops are golden brown and cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 5: Serve

Remove from the oven and let cool for 3-5 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped parsley, slice, and serve warm. Enjoy your Easy Baked Reuben Sliders!

Notes

Pat the sauerkraut very dry with paper towels to avoid soggy sliders.
Lightly toasting the bottom rolls for 2 minutes before assembling can prevent sogginess.
Feel free to use pastrami or turkey as a substitute for corned beef.

Variations

Pastrami Reuben Sliders: Swap corned beef for pastrami for a smoky twist.
Turkey Rachel Sliders: Use sliced turkey and coleslaw instead of sauerkraut.
Spicy Kick: Add a layer of sliced jalapeños or pepper jack cheese for a spicy version.

Required Equipment

9×13-inch baking dish
Serrated knife
Small mixing bowl
Basting brush
Parchment paper (optional)

Storage Instructions

Store leftover sliders in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
To reheat, cover with foil and warm in a 350°F oven for 10-12 minutes or until hot.
Not recommended for freezing, as the rolls can become mushy upon thawing.

Suggested Pairings & Serving Recommendations

Serve with potato chips, pickles, or a classic dill pickle spear.
Pair with a crisp salad, coleslaw, or a warm bowl of soup—try creamy tomato or potato soup.
Great with a pint of cold, tangy beer or a sparkling drink for parties!

Pro Tips

Use bakery-fresh rolls for the best, pillowy texture.
For extra cheesy sliders, sprinkle shredded Swiss or mozzarella over the filling before baking.
Secure each slider with a toothpick after baking for easy serving at buffets or parties.

FAQ

Can I make these sliders ahead of time?

You can assemble the sliders up to 8 hours in advance (without the butter topping), store covered in the fridge, and add the butter mixture right before baking.

What if I don’t like sauerkraut?

No problem! Try using coleslaw or simply omit it—the flavors will still be delicious.

Can I double the recipe for a crowd?

Absolutely! Simply use two baking dishes and double all ingredients for a larger group.
