One of my mom’s favorite sandwiches was a Reuben. She never made them at home, but occasionally would let herself get one at a restaurant. (Vegetarian problems.) If you are like my mom and totally in love with all the flavors a Reuben sandwich has to offer, you can either make my Reuben Dip to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day (or the fact that it is Saturday). Or you can make these delicious Reuben Crescent Rolls. They are perfect for a crowd. They make an easy appetizer. And everyone will love snacking on these at your St. Patrick’s Day party. Guys. Don’t skip the food at the St. Patrick’s Day party. If my early 20s taught me anything, it is that green beer and an empty stomach don’t mix. (Dumb graduate student problems.)

How to Make Reuben Crescent Rolls
Start by unrolling your crescent dough. I went with refrigerated, but if you want to make it from scratch, my hat is off to you. Add a little Thousand Island Dressing to each one. No need to measure it out. Put a little Corned Beef on top of the dressing on each triangle. Then you need a little shredded Swiss cheese. As always, I recommend shredding from the block. You can also go with slices and cut them to fit. Top with a little sauerkraut. Roll them all up. A little cheese is bound to fall out and get on the parchment paper while you are rolling them up. I suggest topping the rolls with that loose cheese.
How to Best Enjoy
These bad boys are delicious, but they are best enjoyed right away. I would not recommend baking them in advance, or making them ahead of time and waiting to bake. Refrigerator dough is super convenient, making these fast to put together. That being said, it doesn’t fair well to sitting around.
