Ingredients
Scale
Pretzel Sliders
- 12 pretzel rolls, split in half
- 0.5 cup Thousand Island dressing
- 2 cups shredded cabbage
- 1 pound deli sliced corned beef
- 3 slices Swiss cheese, quartered
Glaze
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon spicy brown mustard
- 2 teaspoons minced dried onion
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly coat a 9×13 inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Arrange Bottom Rolls and Add Dressing: Place the split pretzel roll bottoms evenly in the pan, then generously spread 1/2 cup of Thousand Island dressing over them to create a flavorful base.
- Add Shredded Cabbage: Evenly distribute the 2 cups of shredded cabbage over the dressing-covered roll bottoms to add crunch and freshness.
- Layer Corned Beef: Place 1 pound of thinly sliced deli corned beef on top of the cabbage layer, ensuring an even coverage.
- Add Swiss Cheese: Quarter the 3 slices of Swiss cheese and arrange them over the corned beef to melt during baking.
- Top with Pretzel Roll Halves: Cover each slider with the pretzel roll tops to enclose the fillings.
- Prepare and Pour Glaze: Whisk together the melted unsalted butter, spicy brown mustard, and minced dried onion. Pour this mixture generously over the assembled sliders to add richness and flavor.
- Bake Covered: Cover the baking pan with aluminum foil and bake the sliders in the preheated oven for 30 minutes to warm through and melt the cheese.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve the sliders hot, ideally with chips and dill pickles on the side for a classic game day experience.
Notes
- Using pretzel rolls adds a delicious salty and chewy texture that complements the Reuben flavors perfectly.
- You can substitute shredded cabbage with sauerkraut if you prefer the traditional Reuben flavor.
- Be sure to cover the sliders with foil while baking to keep them moist and prevent the tops from over-browning.
- These sliders can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated before baking for convenience.
- For extra gooey cheese, add more Swiss cheese slices or use a cheese blend.
