Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat and Prep

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles. Press the perforations together to form two large rectangles (one from each can).

2. Assemble the Layers

  1. Place one rectangle of crescent dough into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, pressing it gently to fit the pan.
  2. Spread half of the Thousand Island dressing evenly over the dough.
  3. Layer the chopped corned beef evenly over the dressing.
  4. Spread the drained sauerkraut over the corned beef, pressing it down lightly.
  5. Sprinkle the shredded Swiss cheese evenly over the sauerkraut.

3. Add the Top Layer

  1. Place the second rectangle of crescent dough over the layered filling, stretching it slightly to cover the filling completely.
  2. Spread the remaining Thousand Island dressing over the top layer of dough.
  3. Optional: Sprinkle extra shredded Swiss cheese, poppy seeds, or caraway seeds on top for added flavor and visual appeal.
