Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 0.5 pound thinly sliced deli corned beef
- 8 slices Swiss cheese
Bread and Rolls:
- 12 Hawaiian rolls
Toppings and Seasonings:
- 14 ounces (396 grams) canned sauerkraut
- 2 tablespoons Russian dressing or Thousand Island dressing, plus more for dipping
- 0.5 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, melted
- 1.5 tablespoons dried onion soup mix
- 0.5 teaspoon caraway seeds (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon poppy seeds
- Fresh chopped parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the culinary workspace by warming the oven to 350°F. Meticulously drain and press the sauerkraut using a clean towel, eliminating excess liquid to prevent a soggy foundation.
- Craft a flavor-packed mixture by blending the dried sauerkraut with zesty Russian dressing and aromatic caraway seeds, ensuring an even distribution of seasonings.
- Transform the Hawaiian rolls into two-piece segments, separating the top and bottom layers. Arrange the bottom halves strategically within an 11×7 inch baking vessel, exposing the inner surface.
- Construct delectable layers by first draping Swiss cheese slices across the roll bases. Generously pile tender corned beef, then lavishly spread the seasoned sauerkraut mixture. Crown with additional Swiss cheese and reunite with the roll tops.
- Formulate a decadent glaze by whisking melted butter with savory onion soup mix and delicate poppy seeds. Meticulously brush this luxurious coating across the slider surfaces, ensuring comprehensive coverage.
- Envelop the dish with nonstick foil to retain moisture during initial baking. Roast for 25 minutes, then unveil and continue baking for an additional 5 minutes until the surface achieves a golden, crispy perfection.
Notes
- Drain sauerkraut completely to prevent soggy sliders, ensuring a crisp and delightful texture.
- Use Hawaiian rolls for a sweet and soft base that perfectly complements the savory corned beef and tangy sauerkraut.
- Layer ingredients strategically with cheese on both bottom and top to create a melty, gooey cheesy experience.
- Butter and onion soup mix glaze adds a rich, golden-brown top with extra flavor that makes these sliders irresistible.
- Baking covered then uncovered helps melt the cheese and toast the rolls to crispy perfection without drying out the meat.
- Ideal for game day, parties, or quick family meals, these sliders can be prepared in advance and reheated easily.
