Easy Reuben Sliders Recipe

As you know, classic Reuben sandwiches are typically made using rye bread. I love rye, but there was none available at my local bakery today. Perhaps, it's because St. Paddy's Day is coming up soon and there's been more interest than usual. So as fate would have it, I had to regroup my plans while browsing the grocery store. Believe me, this wasn't the first time this has happened and I often garner some of my best inspiration browsing the grocery store aisles. My family loves mini subs and sliders, so, I decided to go that route and chose a soft potato roll.  Just for a fun twist, I sprinkled the tops with a poppy seeds.

How to Make the Best Reuben Sliders Recipe

• Ingredients you'll need to make homemade Reuben Sliders: For the sliders you'll need slider rolls, corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, melted butter, garlic salt and poppy seeds.
• To make the homemade Thousand Island dressing: Mayonnaise, chili sauce, ketchup, onion, pickle relish, garlic, seasoned salt, paprika, lemon pepper, prepared horseradish, hard boiled egg and worcestershire sauce.
• Kitchen tools you'll need: A sheet pan, bread knife, sharp knife and cutting board, measuring cups and spoons, medium bowl and whisk.
• Use a really good quality corned beef for these sliders from your grocery store deli. You could also use leftover cooked corned beef to make them.
• Make an effort to fully drain the sauerkraut to prevent the sliders from becoming soggy. You can also wrap it in a lint free kitchen towel and squeeze dry.
• The fun part about these sliders is making your own Thousand Island-style dressing to drizzle on top.
• As with any dressing, it really needs to be made in advance to give the flavors time to marry. You can make it up to one day in advance, place into a mason jar or airtight container and chill until serving the sliders. The recipe I include makes more than you'll need for these sliders and can be halved, if you prefer.
• Store baked Reuben Sliders wrapped in foil chilled in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in single servings in the microwave, in an air fryer or in the oven.
• To reheat in the oven, cover with foil and bake in a preheat 350°F oven for 10 minutes or just until heated through.
