Reuben Sliders

Corned Beef can be eaten so many ways, but I love making Reuben Sandwiches or Sliders with it! Here is an easy way to make it in the crockpot, but I will also put the oven/stove notes at the bottom if the recipe. Enjoy!

Prep: 10 minutes
Cook: 8 hours on low
Serves: 6 to 10 sliders
Reuben Sliders

📝 Ingredients

  • 1 Packaged Corned Beef w/ Seasoning (3 to 6 lb)
  • 1 package of Slider Buns - your choice! I like Potato buns
  • 4 cups of Beef Broth (or 1 carton)
  • Thousand Island Dressing
  • Sauerkraut, drained
  • 12 Swiss Cheese Slices

👩‍🍳 Directions

  1. 1

    Crockpot: Turn your crockpot on low. Remove the corned beef from the package with the seasoning packet, and rinse both off with water, pat dry, then place the corned beef fat side up in the crockpot. Add seasoning packet and 4 cups of Beef Broth. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours.

  2. 2

    When corned beef is ready, pre-heat the oven to 400 to start preparing sliders. Cut sliders in half and add cheese to both sides. Put in the oven for 5 minutes to melt the cheese.

  3. 3

    While slider buns are in the oven, remove corned beef from crockpot and cut the layer of fat off of the top and discard. Then slice corned beef against the grain.

  4. 4

    Remove sliders from oven and top with thousand island dressing, then sliced corned beef, then sauerkraut. Then top with the other side of the buns. Optional: Add back to the oven for 5 minutes to toast the top of the buns.

  5. 5

    Slice and enjoy! Serve with a side of thousand island for dipping if you wish!

  6. 6

    OVEN COOK TIME: Follow the same process for rinsing corned beef and add to a dutch oven fat side up and only enough beef broth to cover 1 inch from bottom of pan (not covering the entire thing). Cover and bake on 350 for 50 minutes per pound. For the last 10 minutes, uncover and bake 375. Let sit for 10 minutes before slicing

  7. 7

    STOVE TOP: Follow the same process for rinsing corned beef and add to a dutch oven fat side up and add 4 cups of beef broth and seasoning packet. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to simmer. Cook 50 minutes per pound. When finished, remove from heat and let it sit for 15 minutes before slicing.

Note: It is recommended to rinse the corned beef with water before cooking as it has been in a brine in the package and could make it more salty the longer it cooks.
