These savory corned beef sliders on pretzel buns combine chewy, salty buns with tender corned beef and melty Swiss cheese for a quick, satisfying handheld meal perfect for casual entertaining.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound cooked corned beef, sliced or shredded
  • 8 small pretzel buns (3–4 inches each)
  • 8 slices Swiss cheese
  • 2 tablespoons spicy brown mustard
  • 1 tablespoon horseradish cream (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • Thinly sliced dill pickles
  • 1 small onion, sliced and caramelized (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the caramelized onions (optional): Heat 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-low heat in a skillet. Add thinly sliced onion and cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until golden and sweet, about 15-20 minutes. Season lightly with salt and set aside.
  2. Mix the mustard sauce: In a small bowl, combine spicy brown mustard with horseradish cream (if using). Stir well and set aside.
  3. Slice the pretzel buns: Carefully cut each bun in half horizontally. Brush the cut sides with melted butter.
  4. Toast the buns: Place buttered buns cut-side down on a hot skillet or griddle over medium heat. Toast until golden brown and slightly crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  5. Warm the corned beef: In the same skillet, add corned beef slices or shredded pieces. Heat for 3-4 minutes until warmed through and slightly crisped on the edges. Season with a pinch of pepper if desired.
  6. Assemble the sliders: Spread a generous layer of mustard sauce on the bottom buns. Top with warm corned beef, a slice of Swiss cheese, caramelized onions (if using), and dill pickle slices.
  7. Finish and serve: Place the top bun over the fillings. Optionally, place assembled sliders back on the skillet for 1-2 minutes to gently melt the cheese. Serve warm.

Notes

If corned beef feels dry, add a light drizzle of au jus or mayonnaise. Keep mustard sauce balanced to avoid overpowering heat. Buttering and toasting pretzel buns is essential for best texture and flavor. Cheese melting is optional but recommended.
