How to Make Baked Reuben Sliders

Ingredients:

12 Hawaiian rolls
8 oz corned beef, sliced
8 oz Swiss cheese, sliced
1 cup sauerkraut, drained
1/3 cup Thousand Island dressing
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp poppy seeds (optional)
1 tsp onion powder (optional)

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally without separating them completely.
Spread half of the Thousand Island dressing on the bottom half of the rolls.
Layer the sliced corned beef evenly over the dressing, followed by layers of Swiss cheese and sauerkraut.
Spread the remaining Thousand Island dressing on the top half of the rolls and place it on top of the assembled sliders.
In a bowl, mix the melted butter, garlic powder, onion powder, and poppy seeds. Brush this mixture evenly over the top of the rolls.
Place the assembled sliders in a baking dish, cover with aluminum foil, and bake for 15 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the cheese is melted.
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and then slice into individual sliders to serve.

How to Serve Baked Reuben Sliders

Serve these sliders warm, right out of the oven. They go great with pickles or potato chips on the side. They are also delicious with a little extra Thousand Island dressing for dipping!

How to Store Baked Reuben Sliders

To store leftovers, place them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can reheat them in the oven for a few minutes at 350°F (175°C) to warm them up again.

Tips to Make Baked Reuben Sliders

Make sure to drain the sauerkraut well so it doesn’t make the sliders soggy.
Feel free to add more cheese if you like it extra cheesy!
If you love garlic, add more garlic powder to the butter mix for extra flavor.

Variation (If Any)

You can change the meat to turkey or roast beef if you prefer. For a vegetarian option, try using sautéed mushrooms and peppers instead of meat.
