Classic Ruben Sliders

Classic Ruben Sliders have all of the classic deli-style Ruben ingredients on a sweet Hawaiian roll, brushed with melted butter and topped with a bit of sea salt.

Did you know that the Ruben Sandwich was originated in the US? It’s true – while we all think this is a traditional Irish sandwich, it actually has its origin in America. There are several stories of where and who created it – from a small grocer in Omaha to a deli in New York City. Regardless, it’s an all American loaded sandwich.

We can’t get enough of sweet delicious Hawaiian rolls at our house. I’m pretty sure I could put anything on them and my family and friends would scoff them down in minutes. And I was right again – this time with my Classic Ruben Sliders. All of the classic deli-style Ruben ingredients on a sweet Hawaiian roll, brushed with melted butter and topped with a bit of sea salt, and then baked to perfection.

These sandwiches pair perfectly with my Irish Maid Cocktail.

Sometimes corned beef can be really tough, but I have the perfect way to make it fork-tender all the time. I cook mine in my Instant Pot. Easy and tender with no fuss. Here’s the link to my recipe for the corned beef:

3. Place the bottom half of the rolls on a cookie sheet.
4. Spread the entire bottom half with thousand island dressing.
5. Add 6 slices of cheese spread evenly to cover the entire bottom.
6. Top with the corned beef.
7. Next, add the sauerkraut.
8. Top everything with the remaining 6 slices of cheese, again, spread evenly.
9. Place the top roll on top so you have one large sandwich.
10. Brush the large sandwich top with the melted butter.
11. Sprinkle the sea salt over the butter.
12. Bake for 15 minutes.
13. Allow it to cool for 3-4 minutes before cutting into individual rolls as individual sandwiches.
