Reuben Sliders
The soft, sweetness of the slider rolls complements the savory flavors of corned beef and sauerkraut. Add in plenty of melting cheese and you have a fun new twist on a Reuben sandwich. My kids devour these every time we make them. Sean’s all-time favorite sandwich is a classic Reuben; rye bread piled high with corned beef, sauerkraut, and melting Swiss cheese. We love Reubens so much, Rye bread has become a staple in our freezer – because you never know when the craving will hit.
That said, these Reuben sliders satisfy that Reuben craving and they get bonus points for being easier to make for the whole family. That sprinkling of caraway on top of each corned beef sandwich provides that unmistakable aroma and hint of rye flavor from the classic sandwich.

Reuben Sliders Recipe
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Pour the salad dressing into a small bowl and add the horseradish. Stir to combine and taste. Add more horseradish, as desired. Set aside. Slice the dinner rolls in half and place them cut side up on a baking tray or in an oven-safe dish. Spread about a teaspoon of the sauce on each side of the rolls. Place a slice of corned beef, draped and folded into a pile, on one half of each roll. Place a half slice of cheese over the meat. Top the cheese evenly with the drained sauerkraut. Divide any remaining meat over the cheese and top with the remaining cheese. Place the top roll over each slider. Melt the butter in a small dish and stir in the garlic. Brush the butter mixture over the top of each roll and then lightly sprinkle with caraway seeds. Bake the sliders for 15-20 minutes, until the cheese has melted. Serve warm. Another of our favorite ways to use leftover corned beef (if we’re lucky enough to have leftovers!) is in Reuben Soup. It only took one bite to convince the non-Reuben sandwich lovers in our home that this soup was as amazing as we told them it was. That recipe takes all of the Reuben flavors you love and combines them in a steaming hot bowl of soup, perfect for these chilly nights. Fortunately, you can buy corned beef at the deli counter too, so you don’t have to wait for leftovers next time. Corned beef dip is a creamy, cheesy, slightly tangy dip generously filled with chunks of corned beef along with a bit of sauerkraut and caraway to give it that unmistakable Reuben flavor.
