If you like Reubens, you’ll absolutely love these Easy Reuben Sliders. They’re perfect for appetizers, brunch, lunch, or anytime. You can use leftover corned beef or deli-sliced corned beef for these tasty morsels.

Ingredients: Here’s What You’ll Need

The ingredients needed to make these delicious sliders are basically the same as needed for a regular Reuben.

Corned Beef: Corned Beef is a key ingredient in these sliders. The other day, I made Sous Vide Corned Beef. Because I had some leftovers, I decided make these delicious Easy Reuben Sliders. I could have also used deli Corned Beef.

Russian Dressing: Russian Dressing is similar to Thousand Island Dressing, but tends to be a bit spicier because of the addition of horseradish. I like to make my own Russian Dressing, but you could use store-bought or Thousand Island Dressing.

Sauerkraut: Sauerkraut is finely cut raw cabbage that has been fermented by various lactic acid bacteria. I use my own homemade Sauerkraut, but you could also use store-bought sauerkraut.

Swiss Cheese: Swiss cheese is the typical cheese included on a Reuben.
while you can either use sliced or shredded Swiss cheese, my preference is to use sliced Swiss cheese.

Slider Buns: I like to make my own slider buns. For the Reuben sliders, I made Rye Bread Sliders (recipe included below). You could, however, use store-bought slider bunds.

Unsalted Butter: For that extra special taste, butter the bottom of the slider buns and brush the top of the Reuben sliders with melted butter before sticking them in the oven.

Here’s How I Made the Easy Reuben Sliders:

Since it’s just the Master Taster and me, I only made six of these delicious sliders.

I started by slicing the slider buns, and spreading some butter on the bottom of the bottom halves. Then, I placed them butter side down on a foil lined baking sheet and spread some Russian Dressing on the bottom of the buns.

Next, I placed some thinly sliced corned beef on top of the Russian Dressing.

I placed lots of Swiss cheese slices on top of the corned beef. You can never have too much cheese!

Then, I topped the slicers with sauerkraut that I had drained well.

Before placing the top half of the buns on the sliders, I spread them with some additional Russian Dressing.

Finally, I put the top buns on the sliders, and brushed them with melted butter.

I popped the sliders into a preheated 350°F oven for about 15 minutes, until the cheese had nicely melted.

These Easy Reuben Sliders were absolutely delicious! You should try them. Yum!

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly are sliders?

Sliders are miniature sandwiches. Originally, sliders were miniature hamburgers, but quickly branched out to include a whole host of miniature sandwiches like the Easy Reuben Sliders.

Is there a cheese that I can substitute for Swiss cheese?

Swiss cheese is generally used for a Reuben Sandwich because of its mild flavor. You could also try provolone or mozzarella cheese because of their mild flavor.

What kind of store-bought slider buns can be used in this recipe?

If you don’t want to make your own slider buns, you can try Hawaiian dinner rolls. The slight sweetness of Hawaiian dinner rolls compliment the Reuben slider other ingredients.
