Print Recipe

Reuben Crescent Bake is a quick, easy, and flavorful casserole that captures the classic taste of a Reuben sandwich. With layers of savory corned beef, tangy sauerkraut, melted Swiss cheese, and creamy Thousand Island dressing wrapped in flaky crescent roll dough, this baked dish is perfect for busy weeknights or casual gatherings. It offers cheesy goodness, hearty textures, and bold flavors in a fuss-free format that the whole family will enjoy.

Ingredients

Base

  • Crescent Roll Dough – 1 can (8 oz)

Fillings

  • Corned Beef – 8 oz thinly sliced deli meat
  • Sauerkraut – 1/2 cup drained and patted dry
  • Swiss Cheese – 6 oz sliced or shredded
  • Thousand Island Dressing – 1/4 cup

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat your oven as directed on the crescent roll package. Drain the sauerkraut well and pat it dry to prevent sogginess. Slice corned beef and Swiss cheese into manageable pieces for easy layering.
  2. Unroll and Layer: Unroll the crescent dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Start layering with Swiss cheese as the base, followed by evenly distributed corned beef slices, sauerkraut, and a drizzle of Thousand Island dressing on top.
  3. Roll and Shape: Gently roll the crescent dough over the fillings to enclose everything. Pinch the edges tightly to seal and create a neat pocket or roll that will bake into a golden, flaky crust.
  4. Bake Until Golden: Place the prepared bake in the oven and bake according to crescent dough instructions, usually about 12-15 minutes, until the crust is puffed and golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly underneath.
  5. Cool and Slice: Allow the bake to cool for a few minutes out of the oven to make slicing easier without the fillings spilling out. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Drain sauerkraut thoroughly to prevent sogginess in the bake.
  • Use high-quality deli corned beef for best flavor and texture.
  • Seal edges well by pinching dough tightly to avoid leaks during baking.
  • Customize your cheese choice for additional flavor variations (Gruyère, provolone).
  • Serve warm for the ideal melty and gooey experience.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze unbaked crescent bake wrapped in plastic and foil for up to 2 months; bake directly from frozen with extra baking time.
  • Reheat in a 350°F oven for about 10 minutes to maintain crust crispness instead of microwaving.
