Make St. Patrick’s Day Special With These Corned Beef Sliders!

I like a boiled dinner, but it’s not my husband’s favorite. Luckily, he loves a reuben and now, I’ve got him hooked on these reuben sliders. The cool thing is, you can make them for St. Patrick’s Day but you can also just make them for dinner anytime your craving a warm and juicy sandwich from your favorite Irish pub! While they make the holiday and any potluck special, they don’t just need to be for St. Patrick’s day!

How to Make Corned Beef Sliders:

Ingredients:

  • 1 package (12 count) slider buns (Hawaiian rolls or dinner rolls work great) (this is the homemade recipe I used)
  • 6 slices Swiss cheese
  • 3/4 lb corned beef (fresh or leftover!)
  • 1 cup sauerkraut, well-drained
  • 2 tbsp Thousand Island dressing (this is the homemade recipe I used)
  • 1 stick (1/2 cup) butter, melted
  • 1 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp dried minced onion
  • 1 1/2 tbsp poppy seeds

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Butter Sauce: In a bowl, mix melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, dried onion, and poppy seeds. Set aside.
  2. Assemble the Sliders: Slice the slider buns in half and place the bottom halves in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Layer with 6 slices of Swiss cheese.
  3. Add the Meat: Use corned beef, layering it at least three times over the cheese.
  4. Sauerkraut Mixture: In a bowl, mix the drained sauerkraut with Thousand Island dressing. Spread evenly over the meat. – I just place the sauerkraut on a few layers of paper towels and ring out the juice in the sink.
  5. Final Layers: Add 6 more slices of Swiss cheese and place the top halves of the slider buns on top.
  6. Brush & Bake: Pour the butter mixture over the sliders, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover with foil and bake at 350°F for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 5 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Serve & Enjoy: These corned beef sliders come out crispy on top, gooey in the middle, and packed with flavor! Serve with extra Thousand Island dressing for dipping.
