Ingredients
  

For the Bake
  • 2 cans refrigerated crescent roll dough (8 oz each) Contains 16 triangles
  • 2 cups corned beef, chopped or shredded Can use leftover corned beef
  • 2 cups sauerkraut, well drained Make sure to drain well to avoid a soggy crust
  • 1.5 cups Swiss cheese, shredded Gruyère can be used as a substitute
  • 0.75 cup Russian dressing (or Thousand Island) Optional for serving
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard Optional
  • 1 tbsp caraway seeds Optional, can omit for kid-friendly version

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, combine corned beef, drained sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, Russian dressing, Dijon (if using), and caraway seeds. Stir until evenly mixed.
  2. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
  3. Unroll both cans of crescent dough and separate into 16 triangles. Press 8 triangles into the bottom of the prepared dish so they overlap slightly to form a crust.
  4. Spread the Reuben filling evenly over the bottom crust, smoothing it with a spatula.
  5. Arrange the remaining 8 triangles on top of the filling. Press the edges to seal, or leave them slightly open for a rustic look and extra browning.
Baking
  1. Bake for 25–30 minutes, until the crescent dough is puffed and golden brown.
  2. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5–10 minutes so the filling firms up.
  3. Slice into squares and serve warm.

Notes

For best texture, drain the sauerkraut well. Cool completely before refrigerating. Can be frozen for up to 2 months. When reheating, use a 350°F oven for best results.
