Mini Reuben Sliders are the ultimate party-sized twist on the classic deli sandwich — layers of corned beef, tangy sauerkraut, melty Swiss cheese, and creamy Russian dressing, all nestled in buttery slider buns. Perfect for game day, cocktail parties, or a cozy dinner snack board.
In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, horseradish, Worcestershire, vinegar, and chopped pickles.
Season with salt and pepper. Chill until ready to use.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Slice the slider buns in half horizontally as a sheet (keep the tops attached).
Place the bottom half in a greased or parchment-lined 9x13-inch baking dish.
Spread a generous layer of Russian dressing on the bottom half.
Layer:
Half the Swiss cheese
All the corned beef or pastrami
Even layer of sauerkraut
Remaining Swiss cheese
Place the top half of the buns on top.
Brush the tops with melted butter.
Sprinkle with caraway seeds and/or garlic powder if using.
Cover loosely with foil and bake for 10 minutes.
Remove foil and bake uncovered for another 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted and tops are golden.
Let cool for 5 minutes, then slice into individual sliders using a serrated knife.
Serve warm, with extra dressing on the side for dipping.
Perfect with pickles, kettle chips, or a tangy slaw.
Great paired with cold lager, a spicy Bloody Mary, or classic iced tea.
Makes a fun addition to a St. Patrick’s Day platter or retro-themed spread.
