Classic Hearty Reuben Bake

Here’s a recipe for a Classic Hearty Reuben Bake:

Ingredients

• 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent rolls or crescent dough sheet
• 8 oz sliced deli corned beef
• 1 cup sauerkraut, well-drained
• 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
• 1/4 cup Thousand Island dressing
• 1 egg beaten
• 1 tsp caraway seeds (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
   • Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Crescent Roll Base:
   • Unroll the crescent dough and press it into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared baking dish, sealing any perforations if using crescent rolls.
3. Layer the Ingredients:
   • Evenly layer the sliced corned beef over the dough.
   • Spread the sauerkraut over the corned beef.
   • Sprinkle the shredded Swiss cheese over the sauerkraut.
4. Add the Dressing:
   • Drizzle the Thousand Island dressing evenly over the top.
5. Top with Dough:
   • Unroll the second can of crescent dough and place it over the top, pinching the edges to seal. If using crescent rolls, you may need to pinch seams together to form a solid sheet.
6. Brush and Sprinkle:
   • Brush the top dough layer with the beaten egg.
   • Sprinkle with caraway seeds if using.
7. Bake:
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
8. Cool and Serve:
   • Allow to cool for a few minutes before cutting into squares.
   • Serve warm and enjoy!

Tips

• Make sure the sauerkraut is well-drained to avoid a soggy bake.
• Adjust the amount of Thousand Island dressing to taste.
