Full of flavor, these Reuben Sliders are a fun sandwich recipe that you can serve for game days, get-togethers, or any time that you’d like. Quick, easy, and tasty!
I love me a good slider, that is probably why I have quite the option for them on my site. I also love a good Reuben Sandwich, so why not combine my two favorites and make Reuben Sliders.
Filled with sauerkraut, swiss cheese, and corned beef you really can’t go wrong even if you tried. These have so much flavor in the sandwich itself.
Now let’s talk about the topping, consisting of melted butter, onion soup mix, and poppy seeds, it really just gives it that push over the top that I think makes these amazing.
They have always been a family hit, especially around St. Patricks Day. We love making something corned beef related during that time and this is one thing that we do love making.
Sliders are just fun on their own, you don’t have to commit to a whole sandwich and you can eat slider by slider until you get full. That is why we usually double this recipe!
It is a much-loved one in our house, so we do make it often and there is never any left. That pretty much tells you how much it is loved, can’t wait for you to try it and tell me what you think.

HOW TO MAKE REUBEN SLIDERS:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Drain the sauerkraut well and squeeze it dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels, you want to get as much liquid out of the sauerkraut as possible.
- Place the sauerkraut in a medium-sized bowl and mix it with the Russian dressing and caraway seeds if using, set aside.
- Cut the Hawaiian rolls in half so you have tops and bottoms. Place the bottom portion of the rolls, cut side up, into an 11×7 baking dish.
- Add 4 slices of the swiss cheese on top of the rolls.
- Add the corned beef, followed by the sauerkraut mixture.
- Next, add another 4 slices of cheese on top.
- Add the tops of the rolls on top of the filling.
- In a small bowl, stir together the melted butter, onion soup mix, and poppy seeds.
- Brush the butter mixture on top of the rolls, use it all!
- Cover with nonstick foil or spray foil with cooking spray. Cover the baking dish with the foil and bake for 25 minutes. Take the foil off and bake for an additional 5 minutes until toasted and browned.
- Cut, garnish with optional parsley, and serve with more dressing for dipping, optional.
DO I HAVE TO USE HAWAIIAN ROLLS?
No, you can use any slider buns that you like, we like the flavor contrast of the little bit of sweetness that the Hawaiian Rolls give to this recipe but you can absolutely use any of your favorite slider buns.
CAN I USE ANOTHER MEAT?
Substitute the corned beef with pastrami for a fun twist, or do a mix of corned beef and pastrami! A Reuben made with deli turkey is also popular, so that is a good substitution as well.
You can also use leftover corned beef from your St. Patrick’s day meal, shredded or thinly sliced works great!
DO I HAVE TO USE CARAWAY SEEDS?
The caraway seeds add a little flavor that you would get from a classic Reuben. A Reuben is traditionally served on rye bread which is typically made with caraway.
This is definitely an acquired taste so that is why I say the seeds are optional in this recipe. If you don’t like rye bread, just leave the seeds out, no need to replace them with anything.
HOW TO STORE:
These can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator where they will keep for up to 3 days.
They can also be frozen, place in a freezer container after they have cooled and they should last for up to 3 months, defrost in the refrigerator.

- Hawaiian Rolls are used, but you can use any of your favorite slider buns.
