These homemade Reuben sliders are a perfect party bite featuring savory corned beef, tangy sauerkraut, melted Swiss cheese, and Russian dressing on buttery slider buns. Quick and easy to make, they are ideal for gatherings and game day snacks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 soft slider buns (potato rolls recommended)
  • 1 pound thinly sliced deli corned beef
  • 12 slices Swiss cheese (about 6 ounces)
  • 1 cup sauerkraut, drained and patted dry
  • 1/2 cup Russian dressing
  • 4 tablespoons butter, softened
  • Optional: pinch of caraway seeds mixed into sauerkraut

Instructions

  1. Slice the slider buns horizontally, keeping top and bottom intact but separated. Spread about 2 tablespoons of softened butter evenly on the cut sides of all buns.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, warm the corned beef until just heated through, about 2-3 minutes. Drain the sauerkraut well and toss with a pinch of caraway seeds if desired.
  3. On the bottom half of each bun, spread about 1 teaspoon of Russian dressing. Layer 1.5 ounces of warm corned beef, a heaping tablespoon of sauerkraut, and a slice of Swiss cheese. Top with the bun top and press gently to compact.
  4. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Place sliders buttered side down, cover with a lid or foil, and toast for 5-6 minutes. Flip and toast the other side for another 5-6 minutes until buns are golden and cheese is melted.
  5. Transfer sliders to a serving platter and let cool for a minute or two before serving.

Notes

Drain sauerkraut well to avoid soggy sliders. Butter buns generously for a crispy crust. Use medium-low heat and cover while toasting to melt cheese evenly. Press sliders gently with a spatula while cooking to compact filling and brown evenly. Sliders can be assembled ahead and toasted just before serving. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for 2 days and reheat best in oven.
