Introduction

Corned beef sliders are a delicious twist on the classic deli sandwich, perfect for parties or a cozy dinner. These mini sandwiches combine tender corned beef, tangy sauerkraut, melted Swiss cheese, and a flavorful homemade Russian dressing. They’re easy to prepare and sure to impress your guests.

A sandwich is placed inside a small white bowl with two handles, topped with a sesame and poppy seed bun. The sandwich has a layer of melted cheese dripping over layers of sliced meat and possibly some sauce underneath. The bowl sits on a white marbled surface with additional sandwich buns blurred in the background. The bun looks golden and slightly toasted with a soft texture, and the cheese looks gooey and creamy. The overall image focuses on showing the melted cheese and the sandwich details clearly in a cozy setting. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

⅓ cup mayonnaise

1 ½ tablespoons ketchup

1 ½ teaspoons horseradish

½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 package slider buns (12 count)

½ pound sliced corned beef, freshly cut deli version preferred

1 cup sauerkraut, drained

12 slices Swiss cheese (about 8 ounces)

¼ cup (½ stick) butter, melted

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

½ teaspoon garlic powder

1 tablespoon parmesan cheese

2 teaspoons poppy seeds

Parmesan, to sprinkle over sandwiches, if desired

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350ºF (175ºC).

Step 2: Whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper to make the Russian dressing. Set aside.

Step 3: Slice the slider buns in half horizontally. Place the bottom halves in an oven-safe dish without separating them.

Step 4: Spread the Russian dressing evenly over the bottom buns. Layer with half the corned beef slices, half the Swiss cheese, then the sauerkraut. Top with the remaining corned beef and cheese. Place the top buns over the stack.

Step 5: Combine melted butter, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, parmesan cheese, and poppy seeds. Drizzle this mixture evenly over the top buns. Sprinkle extra parmesan if desired.

Step 6: Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the sliders are thoroughly heated.

Step 7: Remove the foil and broil the sliders for about one minute to achieve a golden top, if you like.

Step 8: Cut the sliders apart and serve warm.

Tips & Variations

Use freshly sliced corned beef from the deli for the best texture and flavor.

Drain the sauerkraut well to prevent soggy sliders.

Try adding a few thin slices of pickles inside for extra tang.

Substitute Swiss cheese with provolone for a milder taste.

For a spicier kick, add a dash of hot sauce to the Russian dressing.

FAQs

Can I prepare these sliders in advance?

Yes, you can assemble the sliders a few hours ahead of time and keep them covered in the fridge. Bake them just before serving for the best texture and flavor.

What can I use instead of sauerkraut?

If you don’t have sauerkraut, you can substitute with thinly sliced pickled cabbage or coleslaw for a similar tang and crunch.
