Crescent Reuben Bake: A Comforting Twist on a Deli Classic
If you love the flavor-packed bite of a classic Reuben sandwich — corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, and tangy dressing — you’ll adore this Crescent Reuben Bake. It takes all the best parts of the traditional sandwich and transforms them into a warm, flaky, and shareable casserole-style bake. This recipe is perfect for family dinners, potlucks, or cozy weekend meals when you want something hearty yet simple to make.
🧀 What Is a Crescent Reuben Bake?
Think of it as a Reuben sandwich meets comfort casserole — layers of corned beef, melty Swiss cheese, tangy sauerkraut, and creamy Thousand Island dressing all wrapped in buttery crescent dough. It’s baked to golden perfection, creating a crispy top and a gooey, savory center.
🥘 Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 2 tubes (8 oz each) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1/2 lb (225 g) sliced corned beef (from the deli or homemade)
- 8 slices Swiss cheese
- 1 cup drained sauerkraut
- 1/3 cup Thousand Island dressing (or Russian dressing)
- 1 egg white, lightly beaten (for brushing)
- 1 tsp caraway seeds (optional, for that authentic rye flavor)
🔪 Step-by-Step Preparation
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper. This will prevent the dough from sticking and make cleanup easier.
Step 2: Form the Base Layer
Open one tube of crescent roll dough. Unroll it and press the seams together to form a single rectangular sheet.
Place this sheet at the bottom of your prepared baking dish, gently pressing it to cover the entire surface evenly.
Tip: If you prefer a crispier bottom crust, bake this base layer for 5 minutes before adding the filling.
