Let’s Make it together
Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients and preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure everything cooks evenly and quickly.
Assemble the Sliders: Slice slider buns in half horizontally. Spread Thousand Island dressing generously on both sides of each bun for added flavor.
Add Fillings: Layer corned beef on the bottom half of each bun followed by sauerkraut and Swiss cheese. Ensure even distribution for a balanced taste in every bite.
Top Off the Sliders: Place the top halves of the buns onto each slider. Brush melted butter over the tops to achieve that golden-brown finish while baking.
Bake Until Golden: Arrange sliders on a baking sheet and bake in preheated oven for about 15–20 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and tops are lightly toasted.
Serve Warm and Enjoy: Remove sliders from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Cut them into individual sliders if you haven’t already done so. Enjoy with extra dressing on the side.
These Reuben Sandwich Sliders are sure to become a staple at your gatherings, bringing joy and deliciousness with every bite. Happy cooking.
