These juicy Reuben sliders feature tender corned beef, tangy sauerkraut, melted Swiss cheese, and a homemade creamy Thousand Island dressing, all packed into buttery toasted rye rolls. Perfect for parties, game days, or casual family gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 mini rye rolls or mini pumpernickel buns
  • 1 pound thinly sliced corned beef
  • 12 slices Swiss cheese (Gruyère optional)
  • 1 cup sauerkraut, drained and squeezed dry
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • For the Creamy Thousand Island Dressing:
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, sweet pickle relish, Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, and smoked paprika if using. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
  3. Slice the slider buns horizontally, keeping the tops and bottoms intact as two halves. Arrange the bottom halves in a single layer in your baking dish.
  4. Spread a generous tablespoon of Thousand Island dressing over each bottom bun.
  5. Add a layer of corned beef, about 1 ounce per slider.
  6. Add a tablespoon of drained sauerkraut over the beef, then a slice of Swiss cheese.
  7. Place the top buns over each layered slider.
  8. Brush the tops generously with melted butter, including the sides.
  9. Cover the baking dish tightly with foil to keep the sliders moist while baking.
  10. Bake for 20 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for another 5-7 minutes until the tops are golden and cheese is bubbly.
  11. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing between each slider with a sharp knife.

Notes

Drain sauerkraut well to avoid soggy buns. Brush melted butter on buns for a golden, crispy crust. Cover with foil while baking to keep moisture locked in. Let sliders rest before slicing to prevent falling apart. Dressing can be made ahead for better flavor melding.
