Ingredients

Scale

Sliders

  • 12 (3-inch) pretzel rolls, split in half
  • 1/2 cup Thousand Island dressing
  • 2 cups shredded cabbage (or 1 cup fully drained sauerkraut)
  • 1 pound thinly sliced deli corned beef (or leftover corned beef)
  • 3 large slices Swiss cheese, quartered

Butter Sauce

  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon spicy brown mustard
  • 2 teaspoons minced dried onion

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly coat a 9×13-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Arrange Bottom Rolls: Place the 12 pretzel roll bottoms evenly in the prepared baking pan to form the base of the sliders.
  3. Spread Dressing: Evenly spread 1/2 cup of Thousand Island dressing over the bottom halves of the rolls to add tangy flavor.
  4. Add Cabbage: Layer 2 cups of shredded cabbage on top of the dressing. If preferred, substitute with 1 cup of fully drained sauerkraut for a more traditional taste.
  5. Layer Corned Beef: Place 1 pound of thinly sliced corned beef over the cabbage layer, distributing it evenly.
  6. Add Swiss Cheese: Quarter the 3 large slices of Swiss cheese and distribute them over the corned beef to ensure every slider has cheese.
  7. Top with Roll Halves: Place the pretzel roll tops over the layered ingredients to form the sliders.
  8. Prepare Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, spicy brown mustard, and minced dried onion until combined.
  9. Pour Butter Mixture: Drizzle the butter mixture evenly over the assembled sliders in the baking pan to add moisture and flavor during baking.
  10. Bake Covered: Cover the pan tightly with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and the flavors to meld.
  11. Serve: Remove sliders from the oven and serve hot. Pair with chips and dill pickles for a complete meal experience.

Notes

  • Substitute shredded cabbage with sauerkraut for a traditional Reuben taste.
  • Leftover corned beef works great in this recipe for a quick meal.
  • Ensure pretzel rolls are fresh and soft for best texture.
  • To add a smoky flavor, consider adding a few slices of smoked Swiss cheese or a dash of liquid smoke to the butter mixture.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven to maintain the pretzel roll texture.
