How To Make Pastrami and Swiss Cheese Sliders

Preheat oven 350ºF and place the rack in the middle position.

Next, slice the rolls and spread the Russian dressing on both top and bottom sides.

Making pastrami and swiss cheese sliders

Put the bottom of the rolls in a 9×13 baking pan. Add the pastrami to the bottoms. Depending on how you got the meat from the deli sliced this could require multiple pieces, creative folding, etc.

For us, we took one slice and folded it once length-wise, then into thirds. That fits perfectly for us.

Next, add the sauerkraut dividing between all the sliders. Fold a slice of swiss so it fits on the slider and place over the sauerkraut. Lastly, add the slider top.

For the slider bun topping, combine the butter, poppy seeds, and onion powder to a small bowl and microwave until the butter has melted.
