Scale
Ingredients
- 1 can (8 oz) crescent roll dough
- 8 oz thinly sliced corned beef
- 1 cup drained sauerkraut
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 2 tbsp Thousand Island dressing
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Prepare Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a clean surface and pinch the seams together carefully to form one large rectangular sheet of dough.
- Add Fillings: Evenly layer the corned beef, drained sauerkraut, and Swiss cheese over the dough, then drizzle the Thousand Island dressing on top to add moisture and flavor.
- Roll and Slice: Starting from one edge, tightly roll the dough into a log shape ensuring the fillings are enclosed, then cut the log into 1 to 2-inch thick pieces.
- Bake Rolls: Place each piece cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet, bake for 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown and the cheese is bubbly, then allow to cool briefly before serving.
Notes
- Ensure the sauerkraut is well drained to prevent sogginess in the rolls.
- For extra crispiness, you can brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter before baking.
- Serve warm for the best flavor and texture experience.
- Substitute Thousand Island dressing with Russian dressing if preferred for an authentic Reuben taste.
