Recipe FAQ
Pastrami’s flavor pairs well with pickles, caramelized onions, tater tots, corn on the cob, potato salad, French fries, coleslaw, onion rings, and macaroni salad.
You can layer your sliders on your baking sheet, cover them with foil, and refrigerate them for up to a day before baking them.
All your favorite sandwich pairings are great with pastrami sandwiches. Try French fries, potato wedges, potato chips, tater tots, or anything you’d normally enjoy with a sandwich. They’re all delicious!
Provolone is the classic cheese for pastrami, but white cheddar, pepper jack, or Swiss also work well.
I don’t recommend freezing these sliders. The mayonnaise can break and become a grainy, curdled mess when it defrosts.
How to Store and Reheat Leftover Pastrami Sliders
Refrigerate these sliders in an airtight container for up to 4 days. To reheat the sliders, wrap them in foil, place them on a baking sheet, and bake them at 350 for 10 to 15 minutes until heated through.
