Transform the classic deli sandwich into a hearty, cheesy casserole. This Homemade Reuben Bake delivers familiar, satisfying flavors in a simple, quick-to-assemble dish perfect for family dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (14.7 ounce) package refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 1 pound sliced corned beef, chopped
  • 1 (16 ounce) can sauerkraut, drained well and squeezed dry
  • 1 cup Thousand Island dressing
  • 8 ounces Swiss cheese, shredded
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon caraway seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Unroll the crescent roll dough and press the triangles into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, sealing the seams to create a crust layer.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the chopped corned beef and the well-drained sauerkraut. Mix gently.
  4. Spread the corned beef and sauerkraut mixture evenly over the crescent roll crust.
  5. Drizzle the Thousand Island dressing over the meat and sauerkraut layer.
  6. Sprinkle the shredded Swiss cheese evenly over the top.
  7. Melt the butter and brush it lightly over the exposed edges of the crescent dough around the perimeter of the dish. Sprinkle with caraway seeds, if using.
  8. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust edges are golden brown.
  9. Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving this easy corned beef bake.

Notes

  • For an extra savory flavor, lightly toast the rye bread slices before layering them in the bottom of the pan instead of using crescent dough.
  • If you are making this ahead of time, assemble the entire casserole, cover it, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Add about 10 minutes to the baking time if baking directly from the refrigerator.
  • Serve this savory baked dinner idea with a side of dill pickles for a complete meal.
