Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Drain the sauerkraut and ensure it's well-drained to avoid sogginess.
Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half and spread Thousand Island dressing on both cut sides.
Layer pastrami or roast beef, sauerkraut, and Swiss cheese on the bottom half of the rolls.
Place the top halves back on and brush with the topping mixture.
Bake covered with aluminum foil for approximately 30 minutes until golden brown.
Allow to cool slightly before cutting into portions and serve warm.
