Description

These Reuben Sliders are a delicious twist on the classic Reuben sandwich, perfect for parties or a comforting meal. Layers of tender corned beef, tangy sauerkraut mixed with Russian dressing and caraway seeds, and melty Swiss cheese are sandwiched between sweet Hawaiian rolls. They're brushed with a flavorful butter, dried onion soup mix, and poppy seed topping, then baked until golden and toasted. Serve them warm with extra dressing for dipping to enjoy a savory, satisfying bite-sized sandwich.

Ingredients

Sauerkraut Mixture

  • 14 ounces canned sauerkraut
  • 2 tablespoons Russian dressing (or Thousand Island)
  • 1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds (optional)

Sliders

  • 12 Hawaiian rolls
  • 8 slices Swiss cheese
  • 1/2 pound deli corned beef, thinly sliced

Topping

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons dried onion soup mix
  • 1/2 teaspoon poppy seeds

Garnish

  • Fresh chopped parsley (optional)
  • Additional Russian or Thousand Island dressing for dipping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Drain Sauerkraut: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Thoroughly drain the canned sauerkraut and squeeze out as much liquid as possible using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. This step is important to prevent sogginess in the sliders.
  2. Mix Sauerkraut with Dressing: In a medium bowl, combine the drained sauerkraut with the Russian dressing and caraway seeds, if using. Stir well and set the mixture aside to allow flavors to meld.
  3. Prepare the Rolls: Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally so you have tops and bottoms. Arrange the bottom halves cut-side up in an 11x7-inch baking dish to form the base of the sliders.
  4. Layer Ingredients: Layer 4 slices of Swiss cheese evenly over the bottom halves of the rolls. Add the thinly sliced corned beef on top of the cheese followed by the sauerkraut and dressing mixture. Then, place the remaining 4 slices of Swiss cheese over the sauerkraut. Finally, cover with the top halves of the rolls.
  5. Prepare Butter Topping: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, dried onion soup mix, and poppy seeds. Brush this mixture evenly over the tops of the rolls to add flavor and help them brown beautifully in the oven.
  6. Bake the Sliders: Cover the baking dish tightly with nonstick foil or spray regular foil with cooking spray before covering to prevent sticking. Bake the sliders in the preheated oven for 25 minutes covered, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes until the tops are toasted and browned.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Remove the sliders from the oven, garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired, and cut into individual sliders. Serve warm with extra Russian or Thousand Island dressing on the side for dipping if you like.

Notes

  • Make sure to drain and squeeze the sauerkraut well to avoid watery sliders.
  • You can substitute Thousand Island dressing for Russian dressing if preferred.
  • If you like a stronger caraway flavor, add a bit more caraway seeds to the sauerkraut mixture.
  • These sliders can be made ahead of time and reheated in the oven before serving.
  • Use fresh Hawaiian rolls for best texture and flavor.
