   Slice the rolls in half horizontally.

   1.Keep the 8 Hawaiian rolls connected as one block.

   2.Use a serrated knife to slice the entire block in half horizontally, separating the top slab from the bottom slab.

   3.Place the bottom slab in the prepared baking dish.

   TIPKeeping the rolls attached makes assembly fast and keeps everything from sliding around.

   Layer the corned beef and cheese.

   1.Arrange half of the corned beef evenly over the bottom slab of rolls.

   2.Lay all 8 slices of Swiss cheese in a single layer overlapping slightly if needed.

   3.Top with the remaining corned beef.

   4.Scatter the well-drained sauerkraut evenly across the meat.

   TIPTaste the sauerkraut first — if it's very sharp, give it a quick rinse and squeeze before using.

   Spread the dressing and close the sliders.

   1.Spread the Russian dressing evenly over the cut side of the top slab of rolls.

   Make the garlic butter topping.

   1.In a small bowl, stir together the melted butter, minced garlic, poppy seeds, Worcestershire sauce, and salt.
6. 6
   bake · ~15 min

   Brush with butter and bake covered.

   1.Brush the garlic butter mixture generously over the tops of the rolls, using all of it.

   2.Cover the baking dish loosely with aluminum foil.

   3.Bake for 15 minutes until the cheese is melted and sliders are heated through.

   TIPLoose foil lets steam escape so the tops don't go mushy.

   bake · ~5 min

   Uncover and bake until golden.

   1.Remove the foil and return the dish to the oven.

   2.Bake for an additional 5 minutes until the roll tops are light golden and slightly crisp.

   TIPWatch closely during the uncovered bake — Hawaiian rolls brown fast.
8. 8
   rest · ~3 min

   Rest briefly before serving.

   1.Take the dish out of the oven and let sliders rest for 2 to 3 minutes.

   2.Run a sharp knife between the rolls to separate them into individual sliders and transfer to a platter.

   TIPResting helps the cheese set a little so fillings don't slide out on the first bite.
