Reuben Bake

Ingredients

For the Reuben Bake:

  • 1 pound of corned beef, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup of sauerkraut, drained and rinsed
  • 2 cups of shredded Swiss cheese
  • 1 cup of Russian dressing
  • 1 package (16 ounces) of refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 1 tablespoon of caraway seeds (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon of melted butter

For the Russian Dressing:

  • 1 cup of mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup of ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons of sweet pickle relish
  • 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon of white vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon of paprika
  • **Salt and pepper to taste

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.

Step 2: Prepare the Russian Dressing

In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients for the Russian dressing and mix well. Set aside.

Step 3: Assemble the Bake

Unroll the crescent roll dough and press it into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, forming a crust. Layer the thinly sliced corned beef evenly over the dough. Next, spread the sauerkraut over the corned beef, followed by a generous drizzle of Russian dressing. Sprinkle shredded Swiss cheese over the top, ensuring even coverage. If desired, sprinkle caraway seeds over the cheese for an extra burst of flavor.

Step 4: Bake to Perfection

Carefully transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.

Step 5: Final Touches

Once baked, remove the Reuben Bake from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Drizzle melted butter over the top for added richness and flavor.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

Slice the Reuben Bake into squares and serve warm. Garnish with fresh parsley or chopped green onions, if desired. This delectable dish pairs perfectly with a side of coleslaw or a crisp green salad.
