Who doesn’t love a good Reuben sandwich? Corned beef, tangy sauerkraut and melted Swiss cheese make the perfect combo. There are lots of ways to make a Reuben, and the latest spin is this recipe for oven-baked Reuben sliders. All the classic Reuben ingredients are sandwiched inside soft Hawaiian rolls and served up as a dozen small sliders. This is a fantastic dish to make for Super Bowl parties or with homemade corned beef for St. Patrick’s Day.

The tops of the assembled Reuben sliders with Hawaiian rolls are brushed with a mixture of melted butter, spices and caraway seeds. The flavors soak into the sandwiches as they bake, and the sauce keeps them extra-moist.

Reuben Slider Ingredients

• Deli corned beef: No need to wait for leftovers from your next corned beef dinner; pick up thin-sliced corned beef from your deli counter to make these Reuben slider sandwiches.
• King’s Hawaiian sweet rolls: Hawaiian rolls are the base for so many of our favorite slider recipes. Their light sweetness complements the savory Reuben fillings.
• Swiss cheese: You can either use sliced Swiss on the sliders or a sprinkle of grated Swiss cheese. For the best melting, skip the bagged stuff and grate your own cheese.
• Sauerkraut: This condiment is made of fermented cabbage and salt. It adds a pungent, tangy flavor to the sandwich and other Reuben-inspired recipes. Keep things simple with canned sauerkraut, or try our recipe for homemade sauerkraut.
• Russian dressing: Creamy and pink-hued Russian dressing is made with mayonnaise, chili sauce, horseradish and paprika. You can also use Thousand Island dressing on the sliders, though it’s milder in flavor.
• Melted butter: Perhaps the best part of this Reuben slider recipe is the buttery sauce. Melted butter mixed with seasonings, brushed onto the sandwiches before baking, makes the sliders extra-moist and flavorful.
• Seasonings: With so much flavor in the corned beef, cheese and sauerkraut, I keep the spices in the butter simple: some salt, black pepper and onion powder.
• Caraway seeds: Reubens are traditionally served on rye or marble bread. To add some rye flavor to the Reuben sliders with Hawaiian rolls, add caraway seeds to the butter sauce brushed on top.
• Nonstick spray: Coat the baking dish with nonstick spray so the sliders will be easy to serve after baking.
