Homemade Reuben Bake Recipe

Ingredients

• For the filling:

  • 1 cup (240ml) sauerkraut, drained
  • 1 cup (120g) shredded Swiss cheese
  • 1 cup (240ml) Thousand Island dressing
  • 1 teaspoon caraway seeds (optional)
• For the bread base:

  • 1/2 cup (120ml) additional Thousand Island dressing (for topping)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Bread Base:
   • Unroll the crescent roll dough and press it into the bottom of a greased 9×13-inch (23×33 cm) baking dish, sealing the seams to form a solid layer.
3. Layer the Filling:
   • In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, Thousand Island dressing, and caraway seeds (if using). Mix until well combined.
   • Spread the filling evenly over the crescent roll dough in the baking dish.
4. Top the Casserole:
   • Roll out another can of crescent roll dough over the filling, sealing the seams again.
   • Brush the top with the additional Thousand Island dressing for added flavor.
5. Bake:
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is heated through.
6. Serve:
   • Let the Reuben Bake cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm, and enjoy!

Tips

• For an extra kick, you can add some sliced jalapeños to the filling.
• Pair this dish with a side salad for a complete meal.
