Ingredients

For the Dough

1 can Cooking Spray Prevents sticking; you can use vegetable oil instead.
2 tubes Refrigerated Crescent Rolls Serves as the dough base, ensuring flakiness; consider puff pastry for a different texture.

For the Filling

16 oz Corned Beef Provides savory flavor; can swap with turkey or pastrami for a twist.
8 oz Swiss Cheese Melts beautifully for creaminess; can replace with provolone or cheddar if desired.
1 cup Sauerkraut Adds tanginess; substitute with coleslaw for a crunchier texture.

For the Topping

1/4 cup Melted Butter Adds richness and color; olive oil can serve as a lighter option.
1 tsp Kosher Salt Enhances overall flavor; use sea salt if preferred.
1 tsp Caraway Seeds Introduces traditional Reuben flavor; omit if not available or substitute with dill seeds.

For the Dressing

1/2 cup Mayonnaise Creates a creamy base for the dressing; Greek yogurt can be a healthier alternative.
1/4 cup Ketchup Offers sweetness; can swap with barbecue sauce for a different flavor profile.
1 tbsp Horseradish Imparts spice; use prepared mustard for a milder kick.
1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce Deepens flavor; can substitute with soy sauce if needed.
1 tbsp Granulated Sugar Balances flavors; maple syrup works as a natural sweetener.
1 tsp Paprika Adds color and subtle sweetness; smoked paprika can enhance the taste.
1/2 tsp Freshly Ground Black Pepper Provides heat; use white pepper for a more mild profile.

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Unroll one tube of refrigerated crescent roll dough and press it into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Bake for about 10 minutes until lightly golden.
Layer the corned beef, Swiss cheese, and sauerkraut evenly over the baked crust.
In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, sugar, paprika, and black pepper. Drizzle over layers.
Open the second tube of crescent roll dough and cover the layers. Seal edges tightly.
Bake for 25–30 minutes until golden brown and cheese is melted.
Allow to cool for about 10 minutes, then slice into squares.
Serve warm, with additional dressing or dipping sauce on the side.
