Ingredients

For the crust:

  • 2 tubes 8 ounces each refrigerated crescent rolls
  • 1 egg white lightly beaten
  • 3 teaspoons caraway seeds
  • For the filling:
  • 1 pound sliced Swiss cheese
  • 1 1/4 pounds sliced deli corned beef
  • 1 can 14 ounces sauerkraut, rinsed and well drained
  • 2/3 cup Thousand Island salad dressing

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • On a lightly floured surface, unroll one tube of crescent dough and press into a rectangle, sealing all seams and perforations.
  • Transfer the dough to a greased 13x9-inch baking dish, pressing it into the bottom and slightly up the sides.
  • Bake the crust for 8–10 minutes or until lightly golden.
  • While the crust bakes, mix the sauerkraut and Thousand Island dressing in a bowl until well combined.
  • Once the crust is baked, layer half of the Swiss cheese over it.
  • Add all of the corned beef in an even layer over the cheese.
  • Spread the sauerkraut mixture evenly over the corned beef.
  • Top with the remaining Swiss cheese.
  • Unroll the second tube of crescent dough, seal the seams, and form into a rectangle.
  • Place the dough on top of the casserole. Brush with egg white and sprinkle with caraway seeds.
  • Return to the oven and bake for 12–16 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is heated through.
  • Allow to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
