Reuben Sliders

Reuben sliders are a scrumptious way to make Reuben sandwiches for a crowd. These mini Reubens are overstuffed with corned beef, sauerkraut and gooey Swiss cheese.  To serve, they’re generously slathered with homemade Thousand Island dressing turning meal time into a party any day of the week.

Reuben Sliders

Classic Reubens and Reuben Sliders

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.

Homemade Thousand Island Dressing Seals the Deal

The fun part about these sliders is making my 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. The recipe I include makes more than you’ll need for these sliders and can be halved, if you prefer. Whether serving at your next finger-food party or family movie night at home, these mini Reuben sliders are sure to satisfy. See also Barbecue Meatloaf Sliders and Bourbon Bacon Roast Beef Sliders.

  • Place the sauerkraut into a colander and rinse. Squeeze well removing excess moisture and pat dry. Set aside.

  • Serve immediately with additional dressing on the side.

Notes

The dressing may be made up to 2 days in advance and may be halved, if desired.
If you enjoy sauerkraut, double the amount.

    Very tasty recipe! Only thing I changed is I don’t like rinsing my sauerkraut, other than that it was perfect! And beautiful photos by the way, thanks for sharing!

    I would like to make these for a larger crowd for a party i’m having. how do you think they would hold up in a chafing dish over sternos? Also, I would really like to use rye bread for authenticity. Any suggestions?

      I think these would hold up over low heat, sure. However, switching the type of bread would change things, so you would have to test it out.

    I have made these a couple of times, I use the “everything but the bagel ” seasoning for the top of the rolls and it is delicious!

    Would caraway seed instead of poppy seed work since there’s no rye bread, or would it be to strong?

      Oh sure, caraway seed would be delicious!

      You know, I love horseradish cream with roast beef and prime rib so I can totally see how that would be delicious on a Reuben, as well. Sounds great!
