Easy St. Patrick’s Day Recipe

Chicken Legs loves a good Reuben, and he gave these Reuben Crescents two thumbs up! They are a great addition to your St. Patrick’s Day celebration! Corned Beef, sauerkraut, swiss cheese, thousand island dressing wrapped in crescent rolls and baked. SO good! All you need is a green beer and you are set!

How to Make Reuben Crescents

These Reuben sandwiches are very easy to make. Simply place deli corned beef, thousand island dressing, swiss cheese, and sauerkraut on a crescent roll. Roll the crescent rolls up, sprinkle with some poppy seeds, and bake. Easy Peasy!

• The key to keeping the crescents from getting soggy is to put half of a slice of corned beef on the crescent roll, top it with the sauerkraut and dressing, then put the other half of the meat on top of the wet ingredients. That will help keep the crescent rolls from being soggy.
• Can use reduced-fat crescent rolls.
• Traditional Reuben sandwiches use swiss cheese. Feel free to use any cheese you prefer.

What to Serve with Reuben Sandwiches

These baked sandwiches were a huge hit at our house. We served them with some chips and a pickle. These would also be good with a salad or pasta salad. These sandwiches are also great as a party appetizer. I’ve made these for St. Patrick’s Day parties and tailgating. Everyone loves them!
