Description
These Reuben Pretzel Sliders are the ultimate game-day or party snack—stacked high with tender corned beef, melted Swiss cheese, tangy sauerkraut, and a swipe of Thousand Island, all tucked into warm, garlicky pretzel buns. They’re chewy, crispy, melty, and savory in every bite.
Ingredients
12 pretzel slider buns
1 pound thin-sliced deli corned beef
1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
0.5 cup well-drained sauerkraut
0.25 cup Thousand Island dressing
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
0.5 teaspoon flaky salt
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2. Slice each pretzel bun horizontally and place the bottom halves on the baking sheet.
3. Spread a thin layer of Thousand Island dressing on the bottom halves.
4. Layer corned beef evenly across the buns, folding slices for height and texture.
5. Top with well-drained, lightly warmed sauerkraut.
6. Sprinkle shredded Swiss cheese over the kraut layer.
7. Place the bun tops on and tent loosely with foil.
8. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove foil.
9. Melt butter and stir in garlic powder, then brush the tops of the buns.
10. Return sliders to oven, uncovered, for 5 minutes.
11. Switch oven to broil for 2 minutes to finish tops until golden and cheese is bubbling.
12. Let rest for 3-4 minutes before serving warm.
Notes
Let sauerkraut sit on paper towels after draining to prevent soggy buns.
Always shred Swiss cheese fresh—it melts smoother and faster than slices.
Don’t skip the garlic butter broil—it adds the signature finish.
