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;)

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!
Could you substitute another cheese for the Swiss, something a little milder like provolone or something?
For sure you could, that would be delicious!
I love corn beef and swiss cheese. I’m looking for different menu variations for Thanksgiving instead of turkey. I’m trying this with various menu sides.
Making these tonight. I can not wait!!!
You can also buy saurkaret with caraway seeds in it. That’s how we make our German pork chops with saurkaret.
Susie where did you get your sauerkraut with the caraway seeds, I live in Massachusetts and haven’t come across these as of yet . Thank you for letting me know these exist.
Looks easy!
What are crescent rolls? It looks similar to croissant dough.
Yes Stonkingbonkers. It’s the same dough. Credentials rolls are sold in tube in refrigerator section of a US grocery store. They are so quick and handy that people have forgotten how to make croissant dough.
I made these today for a get together. I would suggest dicing the cheese & cutting the corned beef in strips. The one tablespoon of dressing was actually a little too much for my rolls so I ended up just drizzling some in the rolls.
These look delicious!!
How do you think these would be if I froze them after putting them together? Would like to have something like this ready for a quick meal/snack.
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.
Wondering if you tried freezing them and how it went. I would like to do that too. Thanks for the info!
I made these rolls after purchasing all the ingredients. I found that the #1 important ingredient may be purchasing the original Pillsbury Crescent Rolls. I bought an off-brand when in a hurry shopping and we all agreed the rolls were not very tasty. Also, my use of sauerkraut was too little. Advise to follow the recipe using a flakier roll.
On the Reuben Roll Ups it says to use 1 TBS of sauce on each ………… I am assuming that means the thousand island dressing …… ?
Yes, the sauce is the thousand island dressing.
If I made this for my husband, it would probably be his favourite too! These looks amazing and delicious! Thanks for the recipe :)
Thank you Sam! Enjoy!
These look SO good and SO easy. I must make them for an appetizer to our St. Patrick’s Day feast!
Thank you Megan! These do make a great appetizer!
Great easy lunch option! Love how creative you get with a few easy ingredients!!
Thank you Kathryn! They’re definitely one of our favorite lunches!
What a clever idea! I bet they’d be a hit at any party – can’t wait to try them!
Thank you Sarah!
These little babies look amazing! They are just perfect for my St. Patrick’s Day menu! Thanks so much for sharing!!
Thank you Felesha!
I think I will give this a try but maybe add an egg or butter wash then sprinkle with some caraway to get the rye flavor of the traditional sandwich.
The caraway would be an amazing addition!!
Nice and Easy. Thank you.
These looks so amazing! I love Reuben sandwiches more than life itself! I can’t wait to try these.
They were so good Kathleen, I think I could’ve eaten them all myself!
I really like reubens, so I’m gonna try this
