How to Store Hot Pastrami Sliders

Tips to Make Hot Pastrami Sliders
- If you prefer a milder flavor, you can skip the jalapenos or use pickles instead.
- Try adding other toppings, like sauerkraut or crispy onions, for a different twist.
- Feel free to use a different type of cheese, like cheddar, if Swiss isn’t your favorite.
Variation
For a different flavor, you can use turkey pastrami instead of regular pastrami. This will make the sliders lighter while still keeping them delicious. You could also substitute brioche rolls for a richer taste.
