Table of Contents

Ingredients:

2 (8 oz) cans crescent roll dough 🥐
¾ lb sliced corned beef, chopped 🥩

8 oz Swiss cheese, sliced or shredded 🧀
1 cup sauerkraut, drained well 🥬
½ cup Thousand Island dressing 🥫

1 egg, beaten 🥚
1 teaspoon caraway seeds (optional) 🌿
1 tablespoon melted butter 🧈

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Prepare the Crescent Rolls:

Unroll one can of crescent roll dough and press it into the bottom of a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, sealing any perforations to create a solid layer.

3. Layer the Ingredients:

Spread the chopped corned beef evenly over the crescent roll dough.

Add a layer of Swiss cheese over the corned beef.
Spread the drained sauerkraut over the cheese.
Drizzle the Thousand Island dressing evenly over the sauerkraut.

4. Top with Crescent Rolls:

Unroll the second can of crescent roll dough and place it over the layers, sealing the edges to form a full cover.

5. Add the Egg Wash:

Brush the top of the dough with the beaten egg. This will help the top brown nicely.
If using, sprinkle the caraway seeds over the top for that classic Reuben flavor.

6. Bake:

Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the crescent roll dough is golden brown and cooked through.

7. Finish with Butter:

Once out of the oven, brush the top of the baked dish with melted butter for extra richness and shine.

8. Serve:

Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. It’s perfect on its own or with a side of pickles or chips!

This Reuben Crescent Bake is a super easy way to enjoy the flavors of a Reuben sandwich in a casserole form. The buttery crescent rolls with the corned beef, Swiss cheese, and tangy sauerkraut are just mouthwatering!
