Reuben Sandwich Sliders make the perfect party food or easy weeknight dinner!
Dinner rolls are loaded up with all of your favorite Reuben sandwich fillings, topped with a seasoned buttery topping and baked until warm and melted. This is going to be your go-to party dish!
I love a good Reuben sandwich. Rye bread loaded with dressing, swiss cheese, and sauerkraut and cooked in a pan until perfectly grilled. Those flavors together just blend so well and make the perfect sandwich or even pasta salad.
While I love a good grilled Reuben, they’re not exactly the easiest meal to make for a big crowd or party…. until now that is! I was going to make our usual Ham & Cheese sliders, or BBQ Chicken Sliders for a party when I thought, why not switch it up a bit. I’m so glad I did, these will definitely be a regular item on my party menus!
This recipe takes the amazing Reuben flavors you love, layers them in slider rolls (or dinner rolls) and bakes them until they’re warm and the cheese is melty.
The tops of these rolls are brushed with a deliciously seasoned butter taking these sliders from great to absolutely amazing! The best part is that while these are easy to prepare, they can be made hours in advance (even before any guests arrive) and just popped into the oven before eating.
While these make a great party dish, they also make a quick and easy weeknight meal. We serve them with either a side salad or veggies and dip for the perfect dinner between homework and practice! My kids love them and they reheat perfectly should you be lucky enough to have any leftovers!

I made these, but I veganized them! =) I used Seitan instead of corned beef and subbed vegan swiss cheese and they were the bomb!!! These are my new go-to potluck staple bring-along!!! Even the carnivores devoured them and asked for the recipe ;-) Thank you for sharing!!!
I am so glad you enjoyed this recipe and were able to adapt it to meet our needs Diane!
The directions don’t say when to add the thousand island dressing?
The dressing is spread in step 5.
This was EXCELLENT and easy to prepare for an appetizer or main entree. If you’re a lover of Reuben sandwiches.. Make This!!!
So glad you loved them Gary!
WOW! This looks so amazing! Thank you so much for sharing!
You’re welcome, enjoy Miranda!
Can you use slider brioche rolls instead of dinner rolls?
Sure you can, that’d be delish!
Sorry if this is a dumb question … did you cook a whole corned beef, or use canned?
I used deli corned beef. Enjoy, Eileen!
Can these be made the night before?
I have only made them as written, but think it would work. I’d suggest that you remove them from the fridge while the oven is preheating and bake as directed. Let us know how it works for you!
These were very good, my son loves Reubens, this is an easy way to make them! I made homemade Thousand Island dressing as it is not something we normally use. I used the Buttery Rolls from Walmart which were perfect for this recipe. I will definitely make again, thanks!
So glad your family enjoyed these!
Could these be made with party rye bread? Would bottom need to be toasted first to prevent sogginess? Recipe looks amazing!
The dressing is lightly spread so it should work just fine. I’d suggest making sure you really squeeze your sauerkraut.
Adding the corned beef on the bottom will also act like a bit of a barrier for the bread.
I made these and they ate so good and easy to make.
I am so glad that you enjoyed this recipe!
Yum! These look amazing and so easy to make. There are a couple of boys at my house who would devour these. :)
Enjoy Kimberly!
I cannot wait to make & try these Reuben Sliders, one of my favorite sandwiches, Cubans are my number one sandwich.
You post some great recipes on FB, they all look so easy & good..Thank You
I’m sure you’ll love them Brenda! Thank you for following my recipes!
Could you freeze these before baking? That way you could make quite a few batches and just pull them out as you need them…thanks, they look amazing!
Did you get an answer to this question. I have the same question.
would freezing these, before baking, be possible?
I love Reubens I will make those
I hope you enjoy them Barb!
I LOVE the Reuben sliders and make them all the time. My boyfriend likes to have them individually wrapped and put in the freezer so he can grab one whenever he has a hankering.
So glad you love them! Great idea to wrap them individually.
We made these amazing little sliders for tonights dinner and they were sensational. Thanks for the great recipe!
Yay! That’s awesome!!
