This Reuben Bake takes the classic flavors of the beloved sandwich—corned beef, sauerkraut, and Swiss cheese—and transforms them into a warm, bubbling casserole. Perfect for potlucks or a cozy family dinner!

Ingredients:

2 tubes crescent roll dough
1 lb (450 g) sliced corned beef
1 1/2 cups sauerkraut, drained
2 cups shredded Swiss cheese
1/2 cup Thousand Island dressing
1 egg, beaten (optional, for brushing)
Caraway seeds (optional, for garnish)

Directions:

1. Preheat and Prep:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Layer the Dough Base:

Unroll one tube of crescent roll dough and press it into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, sealing the seams.
3. Add the Fillings:

Spread the Thousand Island dressing evenly over the dough.
Layer half of the Swiss cheese, all of the corned beef, and then the sauerkraut.
Top with the remaining Swiss cheese.
4. Add the Top Layer:

Unroll the second tube of crescent roll dough and place it over the filling. Pinch the edges to seal.
5. Optional Touches:

Brush the top with beaten egg for a golden finish. Sprinkle with caraway seeds for an authentic Reuben flavor.
6. Bake:

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
7. Cool and Serve:

Let the bake cool for 5 minutes before slicing into squares. Serve warm and enjoy!
