Ingredients
Scale
Rolls
- 1 can (8 oz) crescent roll dough
Filling
- 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 ensure easy cleanup and prevent sticking.
- Prepare Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a clean surface, pinching the seams together carefully to form one large rectangular sheet of dough.
- Add Fillings: Evenly layer the thinly sliced corned beef, drained sauerkraut, and Swiss cheese slices over the dough, then drizzle the Thousand Island dressing evenly on top for flavor.
- Roll and Slice: Starting from one end, roll the dough tightly into a log shape, making sure the fillings stay inside. Then slice the roll into 1 to 2 inch pieces using a sharp knife.
- Bake Rolls: Place each rolled slice onto the prepared baking sheet spaced slightly apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly. Let them cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Make sure to drain the sauerkraut well to avoid soggy rolls.
- You can substitute Thousand Island dressing with Russian dressing for a more authentic Reuben flavor.
- For a vegetarian option, omit the corned beef and use Swiss cheese and sauerkraut with a vegetarian-friendly dressing.
- Serve warm for the best taste and texture.
