Top those ingredients with the classic Thousand Island dressing and place it between two crescent roll layers and you have a meal that will drive everyone nuts.

This is one recipe that will be asked for numerous times. I know it is missing the Rye bread, but when you taste the Crescent Reuben Bake, you will not miss the Rye bread at all!

Frequently Asked Questions:

            Could I substitute bread in place of the crescent rolls?

I have not tried that myself, however, I understand your thinking. I would suggest you follow the recipe at least once, and then feel free to change it up. If you do try it, I would suggest rolling the bread flat, so it is the same thickness as the crescent.

            Can I make this ahead of time?

It is not suggested that this be made in advance too far. The risk of the crescent layers experiencing a texture difference is high. These should be made fresh and eaten right away. Once made, they can be stored for up to 2 days in the refrigerator as long as they are wrapped tightly.

            Could I use a different meat?

Turkey is always a great substitute, then of course it would be called a Rachel Crescent Bake. Those are just as delicious however!

            Do I have to use the Thousand Island Dressing?

If you choose to leave the dressing off, that is fine. The sandwich may be slightly drier without using the sauce.

            Can I double the recipe?

You certainly could, you will need to use a 9×13 baking pan.
