What is a Reuben Roll Up?
What exactly are Reuben Rolls, anyway?
A bundled version of a reuben slider, it’s just what it sounds like – reuben sandwich ingredients rolled in crescent dough and baked until golden!
How to Make Reuben Rolls
It’s even simpler to make Reuben Rolls than it is to make the original grilled sandwich!
- Unroll crescents on a baking tray. Using parchment makes crescents come out amazingly crisp on the outside and soft on the inside, every time!
- On each dough triangle place sauce, corned beef, kraut, and cheese (per recipe below).
- Roll up each sandwich and bake in a preheated oven until crescents are browned and the cheese melts. Yum!
Serve warm out of the oven with your favorite dippings sauce!
Variations
There are so many ways to change up this easy recipe!
- Try sprinkling caraway seeds on the dough
- What’s a Reuben without some pickle slaw on the side?
- Use miniature croissants to create a tray of “Reub-atizers.”
- Tuck the crescent dough into mini muffin tins and fill with reuben ingredients for bites
- Use premade crescents, or bake your own from scratch.
Any way you mix it up, these incredibly tasty sandwiches are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries one! (Or you can just eat them all yourself. Whatever;)

how do you make mini Crescent rolls to turn the rueben rolls into appetizers?
Hi Charlene, I would just cut the crescent rolls in half. You can also tuck the crescent dough into mini muffin tins and fill with reuben ingredients for bites. Enjoy!
We love Reuben’s in any shape or form! These are easy and so yummy! I bake them a little longer only bc my hubby likes them brown. This would be a great appetizer to have for company! Thanks Holly! Love your site and recipes!
These were very good! Thank you for the recipe.
You are very welcome, Rebecca! Glad you enjoyed them.
Made these for a family get-together for the day after thanksgiving. Huge hit and were loved and devoured by all! Definitely recommend!!
I made these for a boat raft up where people share and pass appetizers across from boat to boat. These were a hit! I doubled the recipe and came home empty handed. I could hear people saying, “Wow, who made the Rueben’s?” I definitely will be making these again!
Meant to give this 5 stars!
That sounds SO fun Becky! I really love hearing that they were such a hit!
going to make make some of your receipes for christmas, i will let you know how they turn out
Can’t wait to hear how it goes, Merry Christmas Sandie.
My youngest son Makes these as egg rolls and uses egg rolls wrappers and uses Russian dressing or thousand Island as a dipping sauce and deep-fried them and puts them out as an appetizer he is a very good cook
What temperature do you set the oven at?
Hi Debbie, set your oven to 350°F for this recipe.
My husband almost ate an entire batch in one sitting…I think it’s safe to say he loved them!
Can you make these the night before and bake in the morning?
We haven’t tried but that should work Brenda. Just make sure you squeeze the liquid out of the sauerkraut to stop them from getting soggy overnight.
All your food looks great. I can hardly wait to start cooking some of them.
Looking forward to trying this. Do they freeze well?
Hi Jodi, I haven’t tried freezing them. I think the best option would be to prebake them and cool completely and then freeze them. Please let us know how it works out for you.
This sounds amazing !
Can’t wait for you to try it Lisa!
Do you cook the corn beef before wrapping them? I bought the meat in the meat section at the super market prepackaged, I’m unsure I want to make sure the meat is cook correctly!!
The corned beef is pre cooked in this recipe.
Hi Holly – can these roll up’s be prepped 24 hours in advance or will they become soggy? Is it better to prep a few hours before? Just trying to figure out timing ;-) Thanks!
I haven’t tried prepping them in advance, but I think it would work if you prepared them, refrigerated then baked them when you need them. You may need to increase the baking time a little. Let us know how it works out for your Jen!
excellent
I’m not real sure how you roll these up? Do you do it according to the package instructions? They do look so good. Did anyone try freezing them?
There is a video just above the recipe which should help you with the rolling.
I make the sauce to dip with thousand island and horseradish. It is amazing. Try it!!!
OMgosh, my husband would love that, we both love horseradish! Thank you for sharing!
