These Corned beef sliders, or “Reuben sliders“, are ready in only 30 minutes! Delicious deli corned beef, sauerkraut, cheese, and a few other simple ingredients on a Hawaiian bun, are the ultimate slider that’s perfect for a party food or an easy dinner!
I love making sliders! They are perfect as appetizers or your main dish, and they taste great at any temperature. Serve them hot but then you can totally enjoy the leftovers cold!
If you want more beefy options, cheeseburger sliders are a classic take. Need more sauce? Try out some sloppy joe sliders, too! These rolls also make mini breakfast sandwiches for grab-and-go goodness.

How to Make Mini Corned Beef Sandwiches
STEP 1. Slice tolls. We are going to slice the rolls in half horizontally, leaving the individual rolls connected.
STEP 2. Begin layering. Arrange the beef slices in an even layer and top with the drained sauerkraut.
Tip: Be careful slicing the rolls. Try and cut directly through the middle of them, and leave the tops and bottom in large slabs. This allows everything to bake up evenly without everything “sliding” out the sides.
STEP 3. Finish assembly. Top with slices of cheese and your desired dressing.
STEP 4. Top and bake. Add the top buns, then brush with butter and sprinkle on poppy seeds. Bake until cheese melts and buns are golden.
Recipe Pro Tips
- Switch it up. Use everything bagel seasoning on top instead! You can also use sesame seeds or leave them plain.
- Wrap it up. Got leftovers? Wrap tightly in plastic wrap before adding to a bag in the freezer. This way you can easily grab a single serving at a time.
Recipe FAQs
Use this recipe as a framework! Select any type of deli meat or cheese, and pair with your favorite dressing. The beauty of this recipe is that it shows you the basic assembly and cooking instructions, but you can play chef and use anything inside or on top.
Absolutely! The Hawaiian are easy to find and everyone loves the taste. They are also more likely to stay together in a slab. However, you can use any type of buns and just nestle them in next to each other. Be aware that larger buns may require more filling or a longer cook time.
You can either place these in the center of a baking sheet or they fit beautifully in a 9×13 dish. It all depends what you have in your kitchen. Using a baking dish means no filling will leak out the sides, which is sometimes beneficial if you overstuff them or use lots of cheese.
What to Serve with Corned Beef Sliders
I recommend a veggie tray and fruit salad, plus of course a bag of your favorite chips! If you’re turning this into a complete meal, try some sweet potato fries in the air fryer!
Storage
Serve these sliders piping hot! The melted cheese is so good. You can place any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Enjoy them cold or reheat in the toaster oven.
For longer storage, or to meal prep, assemble the sliders right on aluminum foil. This way you can just set it right onto a baking sheet and bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to thaw all the way through.
