  • 8 or more slices of Swiss cheese go big for lots of melting!
  • 2 tbsp butter melted
  • 1 tsp grainy mustard

  • 1 tbsp grated or prepared horseradish squeeze out extra liquids
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire Sauce can replace with 2 tsp Coconut Aminos
  • 1 tsp hot sauce Tabasco, Cholula etc
  • kosher salt and cracked black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350F, and spray a baking dish large enough to hold the number of sliders you are using.
  2. Slice all the slider buns in half. Spread Russian Dressing or mustard on both sides of the buns.
  3. Divide the pastrami between the sliders, placing an equal amount on each bottom.
  4. Layer the sauerkraut over the pastrami.
  5. Finish with the Swiss cheese over the sauerkraut. Cover with the top buns.
  6. Stir the melted butter with the grainy mustard and everything bagel mix. Brush the tops of the sliders with the melted butter mixture.
  7. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the centre of the oven till the cheese has melted and the meats are warmed through, about 30 minutes.
  8. Serve with chips, onion rings or fries, and garlic dill pickles on the side. The Russian Dressing makes a great dip for any fries or chips on the side.

Russian Dressing

  1. Stir all the ingredients together in a small bowl. Taste and see if you like it. Re-season how you'd like. Set aside in the fridge till needed.

Recipe Notes

The amount of ingredients is only a suggestion. If you want more cheese, go for it, and place some under the first layer of pastrami. Also go for more pastrami if this interests you.
