All opinions are mine alone. #BeersAndBuns #CollectiveBias. When it comes to the Big Game, my husband and I may be on opposite sides of the proverbial playing field. One thing we always agree on is how much we enjoy a delicious tailgate spread. One of our favorite eats are my Beer Soaked Slow Cooker Pastrami Game Day Sliders.
We serve them on our favorite Pepperidge Farm® Bakery Classics Sweet and Soft Slider Buns. They go great with our favorite pilsner beer, and we get them both from Kroger! I love this recipe because it is easy to make and delivers big on flavor. Adding the beer ads a depth of flavor you would not believe! I serve mine with sauerkraut, but you can top yours with close slaw as well. Either topping is a winner in my book!
Irish Fare; A Family Tradition
Both my husband and I come from Irish stock. My grandfather Thomas came from Ireland to America in the late 1920’s. My grandmother Margaret was also Irish and made many of my grandad’s favorite dishes. Grandma Margaret taught my mom to make many of those dishes. My mom made at least one of her favorite Irish dishes every week. We loved her Irish Shepherd’s Pie and homemade Irish Soda Bread. One of my dad’s staples was her corned beef. He ate it with cabbage, in stew and on rye bread. I in turn, have made many of these dishes for my own family.
Kroger; Another Family Tradition
We have been shopping at Kroger for as long as I can remember. My brothers both worked there while they were in high school. A few years ago, my husband worked there a few nights a week to make extra money. I trust Kroger for their affordable prices and high quality products. We are on a first name basis with James from the butcher area and with Steve from the seafood counter. I trust their recommendations for our favorite cuts of meat and seafood. James found me the best cut of corned beef brisket for our Beer Soaked Slow Cooker Pastrami Game Day Sliders!
Kroger; Your Game Day Destination
I enjoy doing our grocery shopping, especially for a special occasion. When it comes to the Big Game, Kroger is our Game Day Destination! I can find all the fixings I need to make and to serve with my Beer Soaked Slow Cooker Pastrami Game Day Sliders. We make a lot of sliders in our home, so I almost always have a bag of Pepperidge Farm® Bakery Classics Sweet and Soft Slider Buns. They are so light and delicious! They are created by bakers and always baked the right way. My son uses them to make my ground turkey or fried chicken sliders or lunch meat sandwiches.
Kroger; They Sell Beer Now!
Because our local Kroger now sells beer, we can even stock up on our favorite pilsners to make my Beer Soaked Slow Cooker Pastrami. I love that I can skip the trip to the beer and wine store and get what I need from Kroger! In my opinion, there is nothing better than an ice cold made pilsner from Kroger to wash down my Beer Soaked Slow Cooker Pastrami Game Day Sliders. And when you are done with these delicious sliders, be sure to finish your meal with one (or two) of my Brown Sugar Cinnamon Rice Krispies Treats Brownies!
When I need inspiration for other game day food, I visit the Game Day Greats Kroger site. It has recipes, coupons, game day tips and even an instant win game to score some of your favorite game day snacks and drinks! You can even order delicious gameday platters online and pick them up at the Kroger of your choice! So if you want to score big with your family and friends, head over to Kroger pronto!

Those sound so good! I always use our slow cooker to make pulled pork sliders, so I can’t wait to give this version a try. Thanks!
Those sandwiches sound so good! My whole family loves pastrami, and I think this is a great variation on that. I can’t wait to bust out the slow cooker!
This looks so good. I like to do my corned beef in my crock pot but now I’m going to do this pastrami. I think that putting it in the oven with the mustard is the trick to making it so good.
Those sliders sound so good! I love shopping at Kroger, but the nearest one is about 40 minutes from us so I don’t go as often as I’d like.
This looks so yummy. I like to make food and take it over to my dad’s when we watch football together, I will have to make this for Super Bowl Sunday. Thanks for the recipe.
Looks yummy and seems easy to make! I like Pepperidge Farm buns too!
I’ve been craving corned beef and cabbage and your Pastrami And Sauerkraut Sliders would definitely fill that craving. It looks and sounds so good.
This looks and sounds so good! I have never made this and honestly forget to do pastrami as a meal option. This is great for game day or just as a yummy meal!
These are going to be perfect for my next Hockey game party. I am always looking for new slow cooker recipes to try.
Sliders are always a big hit in my house. I will be trying this recipe for sure. They look so delicious and easy to make.
First, I love using my slow cooker. I am a huge fan of toss it in, walk away, and enjoy later. Second, this sounds absolutely amazing; my mouth was practically watering as I looked over the recipe. Third, we LOVE Kroger. Sounds like a win!!
Yum! I have never even thought beyond burgers for the game day! I love the idea of pastami sliders! That means more sauerkraut (which I love!)
These sliders look so yummy. I love that this is easy to make. I might give this a try later. Thanks for the recipe.
I love pastrami sandwiches. I will try you recipe. But I LOVE Kroger and I MISS Kroger. We moved where they do not have a store. Of all the places my husband and I miss from the Atlanta area is Kroger. Silly that we miss a grocery store but they have great food and good selection. Kroger please build a store in the Montgomery area!!!
oh my goodness! This is really tempting and fantastic! I wanna grab it from my screen!
This looks so so good! I am so trying this one out for game day!
Awesome! I love a good pastrami sandwich, but I’ve never thought about making them in a slow cooker…and using beer at that. This sounds like my kind of football food! Thanks for sharing! #client
These look yummy. We are looking forward to the big game day!
My husband would love this recipe. He loves pastrami cooked in the slow cooker. Your beer recipe looks so yummy!
My mom used to make pastrami quite a bit growing up. It is one of my favorite things to eat and i havent made it in a while, i can’t wait to make this recipe because i know my family will love it!
I haven’t had pastrami before but it looks delicious. I bet this recipe would be good with pulled pork too.
This is such a meaty sandwich! This doesnt have to be reserved for game day…any day for me!
These sliders look great for the Green Bay Packer game on Sunday afternoon! Although I might be too nervous to eat them so maybe save them for after the game! 😉
These sound awesome, I haven’t had a good pastrami sandwich in such a long time, I would eat mine with sauerkraut, only the best!!
These look mouthwatering! I love corned beef! I’d love to make these for my husband and I. My daughter’s so picky – she’d rather have a hamburger.
This sounds like a super yummy recipe! I bet my husband would love this!!!
The guys are going to freakin LOVE THIS!!!! Guess what I’m making on Game Day. Do you have to use a Pilsner?
Oh my goodness! My family would love for me to make this delicious recipe! I think it looks so delicious and fun to make and have for Super Bowl Sunday!
Thanks for the recipe! These look perfect for the Patriots/Steelers game this weekend.
Oh my! I am absolutely drooling over this recipe! I love recipes that you can make in the slow cooker, and how it can make game day easier because you are spending less time in the kitchen!
I’ve never used beer in cooking, but my friend had recommended it to me before and she said I should try it. Thanks for the recipe. I will try this one.
That sounds delicious. I am looking for some good ideas for our SuperBowl party. This would be perfect. I like that it would be filling, but not messy.
Is there anything beer can’t make better? I’ll wait while someone thinks of it.
simply delicious!!!
What a great way to make corned beef. I can’t wait to try it for myself and my husband. He’s going to love that it is cooked in beer.
We love to cook for game day and this looks amazing and one thing we will all enjoy.

Love it. however would never eat this so I’ll have to make it when we have people over for the big game
These sliders look so good!
I do have a new years resolution. Its to quit smoking. This could help me with the nicotine gum or patch.
Mmm! I want some of these sliders right now!
That sounds so good. I have not had corned beef in such a long time. I think I will make it soon.
I made these a while back. They were so good. It would be good to have when we come in from Christmas shopping. I will have to make them again.
This sounds so good. It will make a great Sunday football meal. Thank you for the recipe and idea.
