Ingredients

• 2 cans of refrigerated biscuit or crescent roll dough (8 to 10 rolls in each can)
• 1 pound of deli corned beef (sliced or shredded) or homemade corned beef
• 8 slices of Swiss cheese (feel free to add more if you’re a cheese lover!)
• 1¼ cups Bavarian-style sauerkraut (drained and blotted dry)
• ½ cup Thousand Island dressing (additional for serving)
• 1 egg, beaten with 1 teaspoon of water (for sealing the crust)
• Cooking spray or butter (for greasing the baking dish)

Instructions

1. Preheat and Prepare

   Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Generously grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.

2. Layer the Dough

   Open the first can of dough and unroll the biscuits or crescent rolls. Gently press them into the bottom of your greased baking dish, flattening them out to cover the base.

3. Begin Layering

   Start by layering the Swiss cheese slices directly on top of the dough. This provides a delicious cheesy base that will melt beautifully.

4. Add the Beef

   Next, evenly distribute the corned beef over the cheese. Whether you prefer it sliced or shredded, it will add hearty flavor.

5. Add the Sauerkraut

   Sprinkle the drained sauerkraut over the meat, ensuring you cover it well for that classic Reuben taste.

6. Dress It Up

   Drizzle the Thousand Island dressing generously over the sauerkraut for a zesty kick.

7. More Cheese, Please!

   Layer the remaining Swiss cheese on top of the dressing for an extra creamy topping.

8. Seal It Up

   Open the second can of biscuit dough and layer it on top of the cheese. Use a fork to seal the edges tightly to keep all the delicious fillings inside.

9. Brush with Egg Wash

   Use a pastry brush to coat the top layer of dough with the beaten egg mixture to achieve a beautiful golden-brown crust.

10. Bake to Perfection

    Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until it’s golden and crispy on the top.

11. Cool and Serve

    Allow the dish to cool for about 5 minutes before slicing. This will make serving easier and help retain all those appetizing layers.
